Curtis Jones is entering the final 12 months of his contract at Liverpool, with no indication yet of a renewal, fuelling ongoing speculation over his future.
Following the departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold last summer, Jones is now the only Liverpool-born senior player in the first-team squad. He has featured more regularly this season than in any previous campaign, but his future remains uncertain.
Jone has racked up 46 appearances, scored two goals, and provided three assists for the Reds across all competitions this term.
Interest in the 25-year-old has grown, with several Premier League clubs reportedly monitoring his situation. He even came close to leaving in January, when Inter Milan explored a loan move.
According to Calciomercato, Inter remain interested as they plan a significant summer rebuild under sporting director Piero Ausilio. Midfield is expected to be a key focus, with Jones back on their shortlist.
Liverpool reportedly rejected a winter move due to squad depth concerns, but the midfielder’s preference is said to include a potential move abroad, with Serie A viewed as an attractive option.
Jones’ contract runs until 2027, meaning Liverpool would still demand a fee if a transfer is considered. Any deal is expected to be modest, with figures suggested in the €10–15m range, but a decision will ultimately rest with Liverpool as talks develop.
Curtis Jones has impressed as an emergency right-back for Liverpool this season. Asked whether he wants the England international to remain at Anfield, Reds captain Virgil van Dijk made clear he would like Jones to stay at the club.
“Of course. I don’t know what’s going to happen because I’m not the boss,” Van Dijk said.“Curtis, I thought, was outstanding against Everton, was not too much spoken about, but especially in possession he was quite a big game-changer, especially in his positioning.
“It’s nice to be in your original position, but he is so comfortable on the ball, he understands what is asked from that position.”
With Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson both expected to leave Liverpool, the club will be under pressure to retain key squad players such as Curtis Jones despite reported interest from several sides.
