Team Talk reports that Aston Villa is interested in Liverpool's 25-year-old English midfielder, Curtis Jones, amid competition from other Premier League clubs. Aston Villa is one of several Premier League clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United, that have previously shown interest in Jones. The project at Villa under Unai Emery gives priority to players with Premier League experience and homegrown status, and Jones's suitors view him as an established player who also has potential for further development. Any formal offer is contingent on Liverpool, which must make a decision about the player's future given that he has less than 18 months remaining on his contract. Liverpool previously rejected approaches during the winter transfer window to prevent their squad from being weakened. New manager Arne Slot has indicated to FSG that Jones is highly valued, although Slot confirmed that discussions regarding a new contract have not yet begun. Jones has earned 6 caps and scored 1 goal for England. In the current Premier League season, he has made 21 appearances and registered 1 assist. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value at €40.00m. It was reported that in January 2026, Tottenham was willing to offer an initial £30 million, and a €40 million valuation was cited in loan-with-option-to-buy talks between Liverpool and Inter Milan.
