Reports from Italy have added fresh intrigue to the Curtis Jones situation, with Corriere dello Sport via Sport Witness claiming Liverpool have reached an "agreement" with Nottingham Forest over the midfielder. It is the sort of update that immediately raises eyebrows, not least because Jones remains one of the more interesting contract calls facing Liverpool this summer.
The key line is that Jones is now said to be "closer to joining" Forest, with the City Ground side reportedly moving ahead of other suitors. Inter Milan have been linked, Aston Villa have also been mentioned elsewhere, yet this latest claim frames Forest as the club making the decisive push.
If this report is accurate, Forest have done well to position themselves at the front of the queue. The article states that Liverpool and Forest have "reach agreement" over Jones, while the midfielder is described as being "closer to joining" the Midlands club. There is still an obvious need for caution around any developing transfer story, especially one originating abroad before being fully backed up closer to Merseyside, but the scenario itself is credible.
Jones has entered the final 12 months of his current deal, and that always sharpens the conversation. A player of his profile, age and experience does not drift into the last year of a contract without serious questions being asked. Liverpool have a decision to make, and Jones has one too.
