Newcastle United make first moves to steal Liverpool star

Newcastle United have made their first moves to steal one Liverpool star. Liverpool have the power to stop it.

TeamTalk claims Newcastle United have now made their first moves to sign Curtis Jones in the summer. They’re certainly not the first club to do so - but the Magpies feel they’ve got a chance of landing the Scouser.

Jones will enter the final year of his contract this summer and the way things are looking, Liverpool will try to sell him. There was a chance he departed back in January as Inter made a move, though Jones ultimately stayed.

But plenty of clubs are now in the market for him, along with Newcastle. Anfield Watch understands Manchester City have had a look into a deal.

Liverpool have a decision to make, then. They can either cash-in on a homegrown player before he departs for free or they can renew his contract and make him a key member of the squad.

Plenty in the Premier League believe it’s a mistake on the Reds to let Jones go and see a home for him at their club. The TT article also mentions Aston Villa as one such club, while Tottenham Hotspur have been linked several times in 2026.
