A rotation option can not command a fee that a first team regular does. This is down to management as much as anything.
Liverpool have been behaving as if Jones is not needed. That forces the price down.

Spurs are looking at Savinho, on the bench for City at 60m!
Heās had periods of game time but has never nailed down a starting place and position, under Klopp or Slot. I donāt want to lose him but can understand that heād like to have a more prominent role somewhere. And if he wants to go then we need to cash in
Spurs are fools

Fair point, did not consider this.

Under Jurgen, I think it was more to do with injury though wasnāt it? When he would get a run of games he would usually start playing well and then succumb to one.
If Iraola can turn wingers into defensive midfielders, Iām confident he find a starting role for Curtis somewhere.
But yes, if Curtis has lost faith here then it is understandable he may want to go somewhere new (and may have talked himself in making that move after losing faith under Arne).
Is this being reported anywhere else?

It was reported in the Times yesterday by Joyce
Iāve seen it in a few places. Iām hoping that he would extend with us. Itās difficult with him only having a year left on his contract, but ā¬25m for a player of his talent is pretty derisory.

Just caught up! Phone free day with the family yesterday.
Bit low ball that, hopefully he gets a chance under Iraola.

Still think we should keep him for now,and let Iraola run the rule over him and act accordingly.

Iād like Jones to stay but at todayās ridiculous valuations, Ā£21.5 million is a total piss take. Inter should be told to get serious or take a hike.

Inter are low balling because with Jones itās not just an expiring contract - itās an opportunity to book pure profit, and they are expecting Liverpool to take a reduced fee (on top of a reduced fee) to be able to get that money on the books.

My understanding is the club want to sell and the player possibly wants to leave. Itās not a condition that keeps a āreasonableā value.
It is notable that all the ITK responses has not been āhe is an important member of the group and Liverpool are trying to find a solution on a new contractā but āthat is too low an offer.ā
Yes, it is too low an offer, but when someone offers you 20 quid to sleep with your wife the normal reaction is not āhow dare you! $20 is far too little money.ā

Heās leaving on a free.
Itās de rigueur these days.
But honestly $20 is really too low.
