Curtis Jones’ long-term future at Liverpool has been cast into doubt this season.The Englishman is under contract until 2027, and at present, a new contract for Jones is not thought to be close.Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa have been linked with a potential summer move for the player, who has been in and out of Arne Slot’s team this season. But if it is up to Jones, he would prefer to remain on Merseyside beyond the upcoming transfer window.

Mac Allister has been way off it, but Slot is still playing him ahead of Jones.
I would like to see him there next season because he can do a job all over the pitch.”Mac Allister has indeed had a mixed campaign, but he has started a lot more matches than the Liverpool product this season.But if Jones is to stay at Anfield this summer, that would seemingly have to change amid the latest news coming out of The Times this week.They report that: “There is no doubt that Jones’ preference would be to stay at Liverpool if he could be the main man. He would back himself to thrive and probably hoped he had broken the back of that task when starting regularly going into the new year, only to then be the one who missed out again.”Whether that happens or not remains to be seen, with it also claimed last week that three midfielders could leave Liverpool in the next transfer window.They are Jones, Mac Allister and Wataru Endo, the latter of whom has missed the last couple of months with an injury.Losing the 25-year-old Liverpool-born midfielder would probably be sad for fans, but if Arne Slot remains manager, it is hard to see him getting the regular football he wants in the 2026/27 campaign.Join Our NewsletterReceive a digest of our best Liverpool content each week direct to your mailbox
