Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones is likely to be a transfer target for Aston Villa this summer if he is made available by the Reds.

The 25-year-old seems to be facing some uncertainty ahead of the next transfer window after struggling to hold down a regular starting spot in Arne Slot’s side.

A recent report from TEAMtalk claimed that Villa were preparing a concrete move for Jones, and the story really seems to be gathering momentum.

Former Premier League scout Mick Brown has now stated that he can see Villa moving for Jones this summer, and that the English midfielder will have a lot of interest if Liverpool decide they’re open to letting him go.

Curtis Jones tipped to be Aston Villa transfer target

Discussing Jones’ future with Football Insider, Brown said: “If he’s (Jones) available to leave Liverpool this summer, there are going to be a lot of teams interested, and I certainly expect Aston Villa will be among them.

“He’s lively, he’s quick, he’s sharp, and he would help Aston Villa in an area where they feel they are a bit weak in the middle of the park.

“Villa could lose players this summer because of these financial issues, so they have to look at who they might be able to bring in to improve the squad.

“If they could get Curtis Jones, it would definitely be a good move for them, and probably for him as well because he would be able to play more than he does at Liverpool.”

Will Curtis Jones leave Liverpool?

LFC certainly have a decision to make on Jones this summer as he’s going to be in the final year of his contract, so there’s the risk of losing him for free next summer.

From that point of view, the Merseyside giants should probably cash in on Jones now, as it’s perhaps hard to imagine them offering him a new contract.

Even if Jones is a useful squad player, that might not be a role he’s happy with, so there’s also the possibility that he wouldn’t be looking to agree to a new deal.

Inter Milan showed an interest in Jones, as reported by Fabrizio Romano back in January, so perhaps there’s been an openness from all sides over an exit for some time…

Still, not long after this, Slot was quoted as saying that he saw Jones as a part of his plans.
