The news about Liverpool player Curtis Jones has taken an interesting turn. The Reds have refused to agree to a recent bid from Inter Milan for the English midfielder.
The Reds reject Inter Milan offer for Curtis Jones
As reported by BBC, Liverpool have a rejected an offer posed by Inter Milan for the 25-year-old Jones. Inter Milan submitted a second bid for the central midfielder. The Italian club proposed to buy him for a price of £21.7 million. But the Reds rejected the offer as it was much lower than their expected price of £35 million.
Jones joined the Liverpool team in 2018. Before that, he played for the team’s youth academy from 2010 to 2018. Additionally, he has a year of his contract remaining, as reported by BBC.
Jones’ stats for the 2025-26 season, as per FOTMOB:
Competitions Matches Goals Assists Successful Passes Passing Accuracy
Premier League 34 1 2 1509 91.6%
FA Cup 4 2 1 220 95.2%
EFL Cup 1 0 0 53 94.6%
UEFA Champions League 9 0 0 359 94.7%
Will Jones stay at Liverpool?
Jones has neither confirmed nor denied the possibility of a transfer. As such, there is a chance that he could play one more time for the Reds in the 2026-27 season. However, after that, it would depend upon his performance, as well as Andoni Iraola’s goodwill if Jones will stay further at Anfield or not.
Liverpool faced a rough time in the 2025-26 season. The Reds qualified for the UEFA Champions League by finishing fifth in the Premier League. They also finished runners-up in the 2025-26 FA Community Shield tournament. However, the Reds got eliminated in the quarterfinals of the FA Cup and the Champions League. They also faced an early exit in the EFL Cup. That’s why Iraola replaced Arne Slot as the team manager for the next season. Naturally, new manager Iraola would want a better side for the next season.
What’s next for Curtis Jones?
Curtis Jones has plenty of time to think for the upcoming season. The central midfielder got dropped from the final 26-man squad for the ongoing FIFA World Cup, announced by head coach Thomas Tuchel on May 22. In fact, none of the English football players currently playing for Liverpool are included in the final squad. This hasn’t affected England’s performance at the World Cup, though. The Three Lions made it to the knockout stage despite a goalless draw against Ghana. They had won the previous group match against Croatia by 4-2. The final group match against Panama is more of a formality.
Jones has nothing much to worry about on the disciplinary front. But if he needs to make it big in European football, he needs to work hard on his fitness. He sustained a groin injury in April 2026. This pulled him out of action just before the crucial Champions League quarterfinal against Paris Saint-Germain. Before that, he sustained an injury around September 2025. If the midfielder overcomes these issues, there is a promising future ahead, irrespective of whether he stays at Anfield or not.
Liverpool is undergoing a tactical revolution. Andoni Iraola knows very well that he cannot afford to repeat the blunders of the previous season. This is why he is focusing on improving the attack as well as the team’s defense. If Jones decides to stay with the Reds for one more season, he could contribute in bringing the club back to winning ways.
