Overview
- Inter Milan entered late-window discussions over Jones, according to Fabrizio Romano, but Liverpool did not sanction a move as club sources said they would not weaken the squad in January.
- Slot publicly stated Jones is good enough to start and will remain in Liverpool’s plans for the coming weeks, months and next season.
- Jones’ deal runs to 2027, leaving roughly 18 months remaining, a timeline that is driving ongoing interest and forcing decisions on his future.
- Accounts differ on January mechanics, with Italian reports describing a loan‑to‑buy dependent on a contract extension and the Liverpool Echo suggesting gentle encouragement from the player’s camp.
- Fresh reporting links Tottenham and Crystal Palace with interest, while separate reports reference an Inter proposal framed around a £35m loan‑to‑buy structure that was not accepted.
