Aston Villa 'ready' to make move for Liverpool star who Jurgen Klopp loved

Liverpool have made many changes to their team over the last few years.

In fact, the 2025-26 summer transfer window was the most that the Anfield outfit had spent on players ever.

They broke their club transfer record multiple times which left many fans believing that they'd easily retain the Premier League title this term.

In the end, that obviously hasn't been the case and, whether that's due to the number of injuries that the club have suffered or just a lack of cohesion among their ranks, nothing has gone to plan.

And, to be honest, due to the lack of cohesion, Arne Slot has tried to play a similar team in each game which has led to some players getting more game time than others, especially in midfield.

Aston Villa are 'ready' to make a move for Liverpool's Curtis Jones this summer

Curtis Jones is one of Liverpool's midfielders who's been given a minimal amount of game time this term.

When called upon, the Englishman has been one of Slot's most important players but, unfortunately for the midfielder, the Dutchman has his favourites and Jones is not one of them, even though he was one of Jurgen Klopp's.

This has led to several clubs showing an interest in acquiring his services with Inter Milan even trying to sign him during the winter transfer window.

And, as per an update from TEAMtalk, Jones is now 'preparing' to leave Liverpool in the summer.

The 25 year old's contract is due to run out in June 2027 and, since contract talks have now 'stalled', Liverpool could look to move him on.

Alongside Villa and Inter, Tottenham and Newcastle are both also interested in signing Jones and, despite Harvey Elliott's failed transfer to the Villans this summer, the relationship between Liverpool and Villa remains intact.

A 'concrete move' is being prepared by Unai Emery's men with the Anfield outfit now planning a 'significant reshuffle' in their midfield department.

Liverpool should sell Alexis Mac Allister instead of Curtis Jones

Last season, Alexis Mac Allister, much like the rest of Liverpool's team, was in much better form.

The Argentinian helped the Reds control the middle of the park with Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch alongside him.

Obviously this time around, nothing has gone right and, aside from Szoboszlai and Jones, almost all of Liverpool's midfielders have been underperforming.

Indeed, Jones will be due a bumper pay rise over the next year or so but, when he's been used instead of Mac Allister, Liverpool look like a completely different team.

The Englishman is often seen running after every ball possible whereas Mac Allister seems to want to slow things down and take his time.

However, with the way that the Premier League is going at the moment, it's clear that teams need to move faster and be more surprising, especially with the number of low blocks that are used by teams at the moment.

Real Madrid have shown a strong interest in Mac Allister over the last few months and, even though he'd need to be replaced, getting a decent chunk of change for the former Brighton man now seems like a better idea than putting Jones on the chopping block.
