Slot hints Jones could leave if contract not extended

Arne Slot acknowledged that suitors are encouraged to bid on players whose deals are nearing expiration, raising doubts about Curtis Jones' Liverpool future.

Liverpool rejected approaches from Tottenham and Inter Milan for Curtis Jones in January, despite the midfielder's camp encouraging bids.

Arne Slot admitted that clubs are "entitled" to target players with expiring contracts as part of the club's transfer model, suggesting Jones may leave if a new deal is not agreed.
