Nottingham Forest are reportedly turning their attention to Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones as a key target for the summer 2026 transfer window. The move comes on the heels of Forest banking a staggering £116 million ($153 million) from selling Elliot Anderson to Manchester City, giving them the kind of war chest that makes ambitious midfield shopping entirely feasible.

Liverpool have set their asking price at £35-40 million for the 25-year-old England international, who enters the final year of his contract at Anfield.

Why Jones, and why now

Jones entering his final 12 months at Liverpool puts everyone in a familiar position. The player gains leverage. The selling club loses it with every passing week.

Liverpool have already rejected two bids from Inter Milan this summer, which tells you two things: there’s genuine continental interest in Jones, and Liverpool believe their valuation is justified.
