Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones is reportedly set to leave Anfield at the end of the season, with Fenway Sports Group (FSG) already targeting Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton as his replacement. Here’s why this move could reshape Liverpool's midfield for years to come.
Jones, who is under contract until the summer of 2027, has been in discussions regarding a new deal. However, with interest from Inter Milan and Tottenham Hotspur in January, and Aston Villa preparing a concrete offer, his future at Liverpool looks uncertain. The 25-year-old has made 222 appearances for the club, but reports suggest he is bracing for a departure from his hometown team.
FSG has identified Wharton as a key target, with the 22-year-old midfielder open to leaving Palace this summer. Liverpool's owners are prepared to meet the £70 million asking price, as they anticipate possible exits for both Jones and Alexis Mac Allister.
As Liverpool gears up for the crucial Merseyside derby against Everton, they are focused on securing a top-five finish to qualify for next season’s Champions League. Manager Arne Slot emphasizes the unique significance of this match, adding extra motivation to an already high-stakes encounter.
