Overview
- Villa are being linked to a move for Curtis Jones if Liverpool open the door, with former club scout Mick Brown saying he expects them to be in the mix.
- Transfermarkt, citing talkSPORT, places Villa as frontrunners, while Inter Milan, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United are also credited with interest.
- Jones has 23 starts in all competitions but only 13 in the Premier League this season and reports say he is frustrated by his reduced role under Arne Slot.
- He is set to enter the final year of his contract this summer, which could push Liverpool to cash in rather than risk losing value if no new deal is agreed.
- Arne Slot has said Jones remains in Liverpool’s plans, yet Villa’s midfield needs and financial focus on targeted fees keep the option alive, with Transfermarkt valuing him at about €35 million.
