Now, it seems like Liverpool are consciously willing to make the same mistake with Curtis Jones. The 25-year-old is a good player, but he’s not a starter and wants to leave, and at Liverpool, it’s always been the case that wantaway players will be allowed to follow their desires out the exit door.
Liverpool will not replace Curtis Jones if he leaves for Inter Milan According to a claim from trusted reporter David Lynch, Liverpool are not set to replace Curtis Jones if he gets his wish and moves to Inter Milan this summer, which borders on negligence. Speaking on the Anfield Index podcast, Lynch said: “I had a conversation this morning and I think, the way it was phrased to me, there is close to 0% chance of a midfielder being signed, even in the event of Curtis Jones leaving.” Why it’s insane to not replace Jones if he leaves As already stated, Jones isn’t a player that is impossible to replace.
He’s a good player, but is guilty of overplaying and just isn’t one of the very elite players in his position yet. If Liverpool sell Jones this summer and don’t replace him, these are their midfield options: Dominik Szoboszlai (top player, always available) Florian Wirtz (top player, more attacker than midfielder) Ryan Gravenberch (top player, questions over best position) Alexis Mac Allister (top player, questions over Wataru Endo (good player, not a starter) Harvey Elliott (incredibly unfit after Aston Villa loan fiasco) James McConnell (promising prospect, not PL-ready) Keep in mind, Liverpool are also reportedly selling Stefan Bajcetic to Getafe, who admittedly is never available, but he is not included in this scenario.
