Juventus are reportedly showing strong interest in Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones, born in 2001 and already a regular presence in the England national team setup.
The Bianconeri are closely monitoring the situation as they look to reinforce their midfield options ahead of the new season, but they are not alone in the race.

Serie A rivals Inter are also said to be keen on the player, setting up a direct competition between the two Italian giants for the English talent.
According to reports coming from England and relayed by Sportsboom, Juventus could soon make initial contact with Liverpool to explore the conditions of a potential deal for Jones.
The midfielder is understood to be among the names considered for a possible departure from Anfield during this transfer window, as the club evaluates its squad structure and long-term planning.
Inter in Pole Position, Juventus Face Financial Hurdle
Despite Juventus’ interest, the operation appears far from straightforward. Inter are currently believed to hold a slight advantage in the race, having already positioned themselves more concretely around the player’s situation.
The Nerazzurri’s early involvement could prove decisive if Liverpool decide to open formal negotiations. Another major obstacle for Juventus is Liverpool’s valuation of the midfielder.
The Premier League side are reportedly demanding between £30 and £35 million for Curtis Jones, a fee that reflects both his age and his development within the club’s system. Such an investment would require significant financial planning from the Turin-based club.
For Juventus, a potential move for Jones would therefore only become realistic under specific conditions.

The most likely scenario would involve a high-value player sale or a series of outgoing transfers to generate the necessary funds.
Without this, the deal is considered difficult to complete in the current market context, despite the club’s admiration for the English midfielder.
