Overview
- Liverpool have rejected reported Inter Milan bids of about £21–22m and are holding a firm asking price in the region of £35–40m for Curtis Jones.
- Jones is entering the final year of his contract and is expected to join Liverpool's preseason under Andoni Iraola, with the club saying it may reopen talks if his form justifies a new deal.
- Nottingham Forest, buoyed by a confirmed £116m sale of Elliot Anderson, have been linked with Jones and have been publicly urged to use some of that money to pursue him as a midfield replacement.
- Outgoing sporting director Richard Hughes has been reported as favouring keeping or renewing Jones, and Liverpool are not in a rush to accept low offers despite the contract timing.
- The next move could come if Inter increase their bid, if Forest decide to bid up to Liverpool's valuation as part of a wider rebuild, or if Jones chooses to see out the season and leave on a free next year.
