Curtis Jones has always been more than just a squad player at Liverpool. He is a product of the club’s academy who joined at the age of nine and has spent 16 years working his way through the ranks at Anfield. That loyalty and history make the latest reports feel all the more significant.
According to TalkSPORT’s Alex Crook, the 25-year-old England international is seriously weighing up whether to bring his Liverpool career to an end this summer. Crook reports that Jones is feeling disheartened by his current situation at the club, with the midfielder approaching the final year of his contract and facing an uncertain future ahead of what is set to be a significant summer rebuild under Arne Slot.
The concern for Jones is simple: game time. Despite making 43 appearances across all competitions in 2025/26, only 13 of those have come as a Premier League starter.
A lengthy run in the side through December and early January gave him hope, but things stalled sharply after he was dropped to the bench for the goalless draw at Arsenal in January, and he has largely been a peripheral figure since.
Interest from elsewhere has not been hard to find. Inter Milan made a serious push for Jones in the January window, with reports suggesting personal terms had even been agreed before Liverpool pulled the plug on any deal late in the day. The Nerazzurri are believed to have maintained their admiration for him since.
Now, TalkSPORT state that it is Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur who have identified Jones as a summer target. Villa have him firmly on their list of midfield additions, while Spurs are also keen — though their interest is said to be contingent on securing their top-flight status.
Liverpool, for their part, must decide whether to cash in or hand him a new deal. With the clock ticking on his contract, the ball is very much in the club’s court.
