Jones can leave Liverpool with a goal in the last match

With Lazio having finally closed the deal for Frattesi, Inter can focus on the arrival of Curtis Jones. The Liverpool midfielder is expected in Milan to replace the former Sassuolo player in the squad and on the balance sheet. The negotiation is still in the air even in England, where at Anfield they are waiting for the official move from the Nerazzurri for the class of 2001.

If the departure were to materialize, Jones would enter a select group of players in the history of the Reds: those who have scored in their last appearance with the club’s shirt. The midfielder scored the last goal of the Arne Slot era at Anfield, in the 1-1 draw against Brentford last May, the last official match played in a disappointing season.

Eighteen players have left Liverpool with a goal in their last appearance since the start of the Premier League. Among the most famous, John Aldridge scored a penalty in the 9-0 win against Crystal Palace in 1989, coming off the bench before moving to Real Sociedad. The last to join the list was Roberto Firmino, who scored in the thrilling 4-4 draw against Southampton in May 2023.

For the Brazilian, his departure at the end of his contract had already been confirmed, with a subsequent move to Al Ahli in Saudi Arabia. Now Jones could follow the same tradition, ending his experience at Anfield with a goal.
