Juventus are believed to be battling Serie A rivals Inter Milan for the signing of Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones in the summer transfer window. Nottingham Forest have also recently been mentioned as an option for Jones before the 2026/27 season gets started, with reliable journalist Ben Jacobs saying: “Curtis Jones is a target for Nottingham Forest.

“Liverpool value Jones in the region of £40m, and it is unclear whether Forest are prepared to go that high. Liverpool are content to keep hold of Jones if their asking price is not met.

Jones is heading into the final year of his contract but should he remain beyond this summer, talks over a new contract are not ruled out.” Now, Caught Offside report that Juventus have also entered the race for Jones, with the Turin giants “watching the situation”, but “financial restrictions could make it difficult for them to match Liverpool’s valuation.” Curtis Jones can hit new gear in a Liverpool shirt It would be a risk Liverpool selling Jones, even though the player himself may want a new challenge, with the 25-year-old a good squad player who can still find another gear. He is press-resistant and tactically intelligent, while Reds legend Steven Gerrard has spoken positively about him in the past, having managed him at youth team level: “Curtis is more talented than me in terms of technical, in terms of dribbling ability, in terms of manipulating the ball, close control.” The lure of Inter or Juve could be great for Jones, allowing him to test himself in Italian football, but seeing another established player leave Liverpool has to be avoided.
