Overview
- Multiple Italian outlets on Saturday reported that Liverpool have reached an agreement with Nottingham Forest for Curtis Jones, leaving the transfer closer to completion than earlier claims.
- Inter Milan remain publicly linked to Jones and are preparing possible higher offers after opening bids around €20–25m fell short of Liverpool’s roughly £30–35m valuation.
- Jones has one year left on his Liverpool contract and is widely seen as wanting regular first‑team minutes, which reduces Liverpool’s leverage as the window moves on.
- Nottingham Forest’s reported interest is driven in part by the sale of Elliot Anderson to Manchester City, which has given Forest funds and a clear need for a central midfielder.
- No club has officially confirmed the deal and the move now depends on Forest formalising terms or Inter bridging the price gap before Jones can leave on a free next year.
