âNo wayâ â John Aldridge sends emphatic transfer plea to Liverpool amid âspanner in the worksâ
John Aldridge has implored Liverpool not to sell two players whoâve recently been linked with potential exits from Anfield in the summer.
Last week, Fabrizio Romano claimed that Curtis Jonesâ contract situation is on âstandbyâ (he has 14 months remaining on his current deal) and he could duly become a âreally interesting optionâ for several prospective suitors.
Meanwhile, Sky Sports reported earlier this week that Juventus have now made Alisson Becker a âtop targetâ for the upcoming transfer window, following on from Paul Joyce writing that âthere is renewed doubtâ as to how much longer the goalkeeper will stay with the Reds.

John Aldridge emphasized that Liverpool should not sell Curtis Jones and Alisson Becker, who are both linked with exits.
Curtis Jones has 14 months left on his contract, and his uncertain status makes him an attractive option for other clubs.
Juventus has made Alisson Becker a top target for the upcoming transfer window.
There are renewed doubts about how much longer Alisson Becker will remain with Liverpool, as reported by Paul Joyce.

In his latest column for the Liverpool Echo, Aldridge made the case for his former club to keep hold of both players, particularly amid the context of other high-profile departures, and questioned how those rumours originated in the first place.
He wrote:âMohamed Salah and Andy Robertson will be leaving the club at the end of the month and there has been talk about other players who could leave, such as Alisson and Curtis Jones. I donât know where this talk has come from. I feel like someone is trying to throw a spanner in the works.
âThereâs no way Liverpool can let Alisson and Jones go this summer. Weâve had one big transition last year. Alisson can play at Anfield for another four or five years. Why make the squad situation any more difficult?

âI canât see the point in letting someone like him go. I know heâs had some injury problems this year that have affected his kicking a bit but it feels like someone outside the club just trying to cause chaos.
âAs for Jones, heâs a local lad and a Liverpool fan. Where would he go? Iâd be very surprised he if left.â

Even though his playing time over the past couple of seasons has been significantly curtailed by injuries, Alisson remains a crucial figure for Liverpool, and to lose him off the back of Salah and Robertson leaving would be an enormous blow for the Reds.

Meanwhile, for all the criticism that Jones gets, some of his underlying performance statistics are among the best of any Premier League midfielder this season, and heâs currently the one local presence in the senior squad, a commodity which should never be dismissed or underappreciated.
That alone shouldnât get a player into the first-team setup, but the 25-year-old has proven over the past several years that he belongs at this level. If he didnât, thereâs no way heâd have surpassed 200 appearances for Liverpool.
We fully agree with Aldridge that itâd be a massive risk to let either of them depart in the summer, and we firmly hope that both will agree to remain with the Reds for at least another season, even if their contract situations are both at that delicate one-year stage.
