Juventus and Inter Milan enter £35m race for Curtis Jones

Juventus and Inter Milan have both entered the market for Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones, with the English club setting a £35 million asking price as the 25‑year‑old approaches the final year of his contract. He has made 228 appearances for Liverpool, including 153 in the Premier League, and Juventus and Inter believe he could thrive in Serie A. Liverpool have made clear they will not accept less than £35 million for Jones. The club is not expected to offer him a new long‑term contract, preferring to cash in before his deal expires. Andoni Iraola, newly installed as Liverpool head coach, reportedly views Jones as surplus to requirements. The midfielder’s versatility remains valued, but the coaching staff is prepared to move on. Jones’ trophy‑laden career at Anfield includes two Premier League titles, an FA Cup, two EFL Cups and a FIFA Club World Cup. His 22 goals for Liverpool underscore his contribution beyond midfield duties.

Both Juventus and Inter Milan have long‑standing interest, with Juventus only now joining the chase. The Italian clubs argue the player’s age and experience suit Serie A’s tactical demands. A bidding war could raise the price above Liverpool’s £35 million floor, but holding out risks the player leaving on a free‑transfer next season. Liverpool must balance midfield depth with financial return. Supporters express frustration at the prospect of losing a home‑grown Scouser who has featured in 153 Premier League matches. They recall the symbolic status of local legends such as Steven Gerrard and Trent Alexander‑Arnold. If Liverpool secure a fee close to their valuation, the proceeds could fund replacements under Iraola’s rebuilding plan. Otherwise, a reduced fee may leave the squad with a gap in midfield depth.
