Jones is heading into the final year of his contract, so this is the point where the club either commit to him properly with a new deal or consider cashing in while his value is still strong.He is still only 25 and should have the prime years of his career ahead of him, so it would be a shame to see him end up strengthening a Premier League rival — Villa moreso than Spurs. But if he is not going to get the minutes he wants at Liverpool at the peak of his powers, it would be hard to hold the decision to leave against him.READ MORE: Why Liverpool should bring back Fabinho this summer as he becomes available for freeJoin Our NewsletterReceive a digest of our best Liverpool content each week direct to your mailbox
