Palace, Inter and Spurs Eye Curtis Jones Amid Uncertain Future

25 Feb

Curtis Jones could have a significant decision to make this summer.

Reports suggest that Crystal Palace, Inter Milan and Tottenham Hotspur all hold genuine interest in the Liverpool midfielder ahead of the next transfer window.

And given his limited game time under Arne Slot, the speculation will only intensify.

A Frustrating Season

Jones’ campaign has been stop-start.

Despite showing maturity and versatility in previous seasons, he has struggled to cement a consistent role under Slot. Whether used in midfield or shifted into unfamiliar positions, rhythm has been hard to find.

For a player entering a crucial stage of his development, minutes matter.

Confidence matters.

Clarity of role matters.

At times this season, Jones has had none of those.

Why Clubs Are Interested

Crystal Palace see him as a technically gifted midfielder who can progress the ball.

Inter Milan value tactical intelligence and positional discipline — both strengths in Jones’ game when he is trusted.

Tottenham, meanwhile, are always searching for energetic, homegrown midfield options who can operate in multiple systems.

He is still young. Still developed at elite level. Still tactically educated.

There is clear value there.

Does Slot Truly See Him As Part Of The Core?

The bigger question surrounds Liverpool.

If Jones is viewed as a rotational option rather than a key figure, it may force a decision.

Lack of consistent minutes can stall growth — and at this stage of his career, stagnation would be damaging.

Slot must decide:

Is Jones part of the long-term midfield rebuild?

Or is he expendable in pursuit of other profiles?

A Summer Of Decisions

Liverpool’s midfield evolution is still ongoing. But losing a technically capable, homegrown player who understands the club carries its own risks.

If the interest from Palace, Inter and Tottenham solidifies into concrete offers, the pressure will mount.

For Jones, this summer could define the direction of his career.
