The request from Liverpool for Curtis Jones is creating friction with Oaktree‘s line. The Reds are asking for 40 million euros for a player whose contract will expire in a year, a valuation that according to TuttoSport explains the difficulties of the deal.

The English midfielder is highly appreciated by Cristian Chivu, who has expressly requested his arrival. Chivu believes that there is no midfielder in the squad with Jones‘ characteristics. Meanwhile, the player is experiencing a situation of being separated within the English club.

To free up a slot in midfield, a departure will be necessary. All signs point to Frattesi leaving, while Asllani has returned to base while waiting to find a team. According to the newspaper, even a paid loan deal with an option to buy should be enough to get the green light from the ownership, considering that the arrival of the Liverpool player has been expressly requested by Chivu.
