Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones is increasingly likely to remain at the club beyond the summer, despite a bid from Serie A champions Inter Milan. Jones has now reached an important point in his career, no longer a young player with great potential, and he will understandably want to start most weeks.

He has been strongly linked with a move to Inter this summer, but according to The Telegraph‘s Dominic King on X, he is more likely to stay at Liverpool after the Italian giants’ bid was rejected: “Liverpool anticipate Curtis Jones will be with them next season; Inter Milan had indicated they wanted to buy him for £20m but Liverpool’s value is £35m. The club are more than happy for him to stay.” Meanwhile, Paul Joyce of The Times shed further light on the situation on X, saying: “Liverpool irritated by Inter Milan’s latest lowball offer for Curtis Jones (€25m/£21.6m) and don’t think they are being serious given midfield market this summer.” Selling Curtis Jones would be an error by Liverpool Jones can split opinion as a player at times, but the pros easily outweigh the cons, with the Scouser a homegrown player who knows the club inside out, possessing great versatility, ball retention and tactical intelligence, being lauded by Slot in the past: “He has an incredibly hard work rate and we trust him in defence.

The best players turn up every three days and that is what he has got to show.” Jones may only be appreciated as a footballer after he is gone, despite some flaws such as holding onto the ball for too long at times, and Liverpool would be wise to continue rejecting Inter’s advances. He is a great squad option across several positions, and the only way the Reds should allow him to leave is if he truly wants a fresh challenge and Andoni Iraola can’t promise him constant starts.
