Liverpool: Curtis Jones in the sights of Nottingham Forest, contract discussions in sight
By OnzeActu · · 2 min read
English midfielder Curtis Jones could leave Liverpool this summer, Nottingham Forest having positioned themselves on the file while Inter Milan saw their offer refused. The Reds could relaunch extension discussions if the player remains, while the club continues its adjustments after the failure of the Yan Diomande file, in the process of signing up with PSG.
The Liverpool squad situation continues to evolve as the 2026-27 summer transfer window approaches. Initially focused on the arrival of Yan Diomande, who had publicly expressed his interest in the Reds, the leaders must review their plans after the Ivorian international now seems to be on his way to Paris Saint-Germain.
Faced with the need to renew the team and generate funds, the name of Curtis Jones appears at the heart of speculation. According to the latest information relayed by Ben Jacobs, Nottingham Forest have designated the English midfielder as a priority target to strengthen their midfield following the XXL departure of Elliot Anderson (estimated at 116 million pounds). Inter Milan, for their part, have already had a £21.5 million offer rejected by Liverpool, who value Jones at almost 40 million.
Under contract for one more season, Curtis Jones could see his situation evolve quickly. If no club meets the financial requirements of the Reds, they are ready to keep the player and reopen discussions for an extension. The future of Jones, regularly used as a right back despite mixed performances from his competitors, remains uncertain, especially as his minutes of play have been limited under Arne Slot.
Nottingham Forest also follows Lucas Bergvall (Spurs), but Jones' future at Anfield remains linked to the transfer window for midfielders and defenders. Although his versatility and commitment make him a valuable asset, Liverpool are inflexible on his valuation. At 25, Jones can still progress, and his departure for 40 million pounds would be a real loss for the Mersey club.
