Shocking Report: Real Madrid Eyes Liverpool Star Curtis Jones

Liverpool are preparing to battle for one of their talents from the grasp of Real Madrid.

The Reds delivered an impressive performance over the weekend to defeat Manchester City, just days after achieving a similar feat against Real Madrid. However, despite their recent success, Real are posing a threat to the future of Arne Slot with interest in Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah also face uncertainties regarding their futures, and now Real might complicate things further with their interest in Curtis Jones.

Recently, Liverpool officials met with their counterparts at Real Madrid, discussing not only Alexander-Arnold but also expressing unexpected interest in Ryan Gravenberch.

Now, German publication BILD has revealed that Los Blancos have also identified Jones as a target due to his outstanding performance this season.

The report mentions, “The Englishman has made a name for himself in Liverpool’s midfield, proving to be an essential player for the Premier League side.” This has increased interest, particularly from Real.

This season, the European champions have faced challenges, especially after adding Kylian Mbappe, while struggling to fill the void left by the retired Toni Kroos. Manager Carlo Ancelotti has had to incorporate Luka Modric and Arda Guler into the squad to compensate for the absence of the influential German midfielder.

Jones, previously ranked as the fourth-most exciting teenager in global football by eScored in 2020/21, has blossomed into an exceptional midfielder for both club and country, capable of playing effectively in both a two- or three-man midfield as a No.8 or No.10.

His increasing value naturally draws attention, especially given the positive rapport between Liverpool and Real Madrid following their recent discussions, making it plausible that a transfer could be on the agenda soon.

In eScored’s perspective, however, they believe Jones is unlikely to be sold in the near future. The Reds would be reluctant to part ways with two talented academy products to Real Madrid, and with the 23-year-old being one of their top midfielders, a significant offer would be required to sway them.

Jones is estimated to have a value of €35 million according to Transfermarkt. Liverpool is set to face Newcastle United this week as Premier League action resumes.
