Liverpool star reaches contract agreement after negotiations held Liverpool still have a lot of changes to make to their first-team squad before the transfer window slams shut. Their first Premier League game is now less than a week away and, at the moment, it's unclear whether the current crop of players that Andoni Iraola has at his disposal are better than last seasons. Of course, some deals still need to be struck and with the sheer number of players being linked with a Liverpool move, there's bound to be another one or two joining up with them. However, since the Reds have ran out of non-homegrown places in their Premier League squad, it's clear that some players must be moved on if Liverpool want to make their team better. Many different players have been linked with Anfield exits and now, one seems to have already agreed their move away. Curtis Jones has now reached an agreement with Inter Milan One of the main players to have been linked with a Liverpool exit this summer is Curtis Jones. The Englishman only has a year left on his current deal and, since Arne Slot barely trusted him, he wanted to seek pastures new. Over the last couple of windows Inter have tried their best to bring the Englishman in. And now, it finally seems like they'll be able to do that, especially now that Davide Frattesi has joined Lazio.
"Agreement in principle between Curtis Jones and Inter for a contract until 2031," Nico Schira shared via X. "Inter are now ready to submit a new bid to LFC to try to sign the midfielder."

GambleAware.org £30 FREECLAIM NOW Liverpool will have to find a replacement for Curtis Jones this summer Although Jones was one of Liverpool's better performers last season, for one reason or another, Slot barely trusted him. And, even when he did, he was often used out of position. This obviously led to the Englishman losing trust in his boyhood club and wanting to try and find somewhere else to call home. Most fans were against this, especially when Iraola was announced as their new manager as they thought that he could be regularly used to make a difference and offer some more options in the centre of the park. Evidently, that isn't going to happen and now, alongside all the other players that the Reds need to sign, they'll now need to find a new central midfielder. Many have been linked such as Lamine Camara and Adam Wharton and, while no concrete moves have been made yet, with how little of the transfer window there is left to go, a decision clearly needs to be made as soon as possible. Here's hoping that the Reds get themselves into gear and sort a deal out for Jones' successor soon.
