Liverpool have power to stop disaster transfer now
Liverpool can stop a transfer that feels like an absolute disaster. It’s far from too late.
Reports continue to grow that Curtis Jones is to leave Liverpool this summer. The Scouser will enter the final year of his deal and there’s essentially zero talk about him getting a new one.
Never a good sign.
It seems that Liverpool simply don’t see the value in Jones, not for the money he’d want to renew. He’s never held down a regular spot in midfield - his best run of games is coming as a last-resort right-back option.
Teams are now lining up to sign Jones, too. Anfield Watch understands that Manchester City have at least asked about a deal. Newcastle United are the latest club to get involved. Inter tried to get him in January and will return this summer.
There’s incredible interest, then. Teams all want Jones but, for whatever reason, Liverpool don’t appear to.
But the thing is, Jones doesn’t want to leave. All suggestions are that it’s Liverpool pushing for a sale here, not their homegrown talent. Forcing out a local player who is absolutely, 100 percent, unquestionably good enough to play regularly for you is a bizarre move on several levels.
For one, Jones won’t even more for his full value, given he only has one year remaining. Secondly, again, he’s more than good enough to play for Liverpool and he actively wants to.
Those players don’t come along often but Liverpool don’t seem to value it. , presumably to make a bit of money.
