He has been a member of Liverpool since he was a child and joined the first team as a teenager. Since the second half of last season, he has been a mainstay of the team.
As the embodiment of the Gegenpress, he contributes offensively and defensively with his intense pressing, and in recent games he has begun to be more aggressive up front as well, recording three goals and three assists in 20 games this season.
As a local player, he will no doubt continue to be at the center of Jurgen Klopp’s second chapter, and he is currently under contract until June 2027.
According to Anfield Watch, Liverpool is preparing to renew his current contract for a two-year extension through 2029, which would include improved terms.
He has experience wearing the captain’s mark in the first team and has a bright personality that could help him lead the team along with Trent Alexander-Arnold in the future. Not to draw comparisons, but he would be a legitimate successor to Jordan Henderson.
So, will 22-year-old midfielder Curtis Jones sign a new contract in the near future…?
