Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp’s transfer plans won’t be good news for one of England’s Under-21 European Championship heroes.

Liverpool beating Arsenal, Barcelona and Chelsea and signing Romeo Lavia this summer could mean the end of Curtis Jones’ career at Anfield.

The 22-year-old midfielder has reclaimed a starting place for next season with heroic results in recent months, but Jurgen Klopp could rule him out.

According to Sky Germania, Liverpool have had concrete talks with Lavia, although they have yet to agree personal terms on a contract at Anfield.

According to the report, Klopp is keen to get the 19-year-old signed and Southampton are asking for £50m to part ways.

Liverpool have already splashed out over £120m to bring Alexis Mac Allister to Merseyside from Brighton and Hove Albion and Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig.

And a third top addition to the midfield would be bad news for current members of Klopp’s ranks.

Neither is Jones, who has a promising future under the German coach after an impressive end to last season and the European Under-21 Championship this summer.

Jones scored the winner as England beat Spain 1-0 on Saturday to claim their third European Under-21 title and first since 1984.

He also added goals to his game during the innings and became a crucial part of Liverpool’s ultimately unsuccessful bid for a place in the top four. But Klopp would likely use his entire summer transfer budget for three midfielders if he approves a £50m deal for Lavia.

And dumping so much cash suggests he sees all three as regular starters to reshape the energetic midfield that made his past Liverpool sides so dangerous.

Jones returns to Liverpool for pre-season with a starting position firmly in his sights after showing his abilities for club and country.

But he could very well be seventh in Klopp’s pecking order considering that a new trio would join Fabinho, Jordan Henderson and Thiago Alcantara at Anfield.

Jones signed a new long-term deal in 2022, leaving his future in the hands of Klopp and the Reds. However, if regular appearances cannot be guaranteed next season, he might be tempted to take on a new challenge if there is interest in his services.

FSG issued a direct message to Liverpool on the necessary number of signings.

Liverpool fans don’t seem to have full faith in FSG as Jurgen Klopp looks to rebuild his squad after a disappointing 2022/2023 season

More than 4,300 Liverpool fans don’t trust Fenway Sports Group (FSG) to provide enough support for Jurgen Klopp as the German seeks to rebuild his squad after a disappointing 2022/2023 season.

After missing out on Champions League football for the first time since 2016, the Reds have already signed Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai after leaving long-serving stars like Roberto Firmino, James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita at the end of the contract.

However, it is reasonably obvious that further additions are needed. But it seems Liverpool fans don’t have complete faith in FSG’s low-cost recruiting style when it comes to signing searches.

53% of supporters who responded to the ECHO Big Liverpool forum, a total of 4,363, told us they don’t trust the FSG to support Klopp enough in his attempts to build a successful squad.

However, it should be noted that 47% (3892) believe the ownership group led by John W. Henry and Tom Werner can help the former Dortmund manager deliver even more silverware to the club.

There was much more support for striker Darwin Nunez from those who took part in the forum.

The Uruguayan, who was signed for a whopping fee by Benfica last summer, was only able to score nine Premier League goals in his debut season and has taken some time to adjust to English football.

Though Nunez has no doubt displayed flashes of immense talent which have suggested why the Portuguese giants demand such a high fee for his services. At just 24, he has plenty of time to repay that belief.

83% of fans who took part in the forum believe the club’s potential record signing will eventually come to fruition at Anfield, meaning Nunez has 6,898 Liverpool fans wishing him success at the Merseyside side. Only a small fraction of 17% think they will fail.

Elsewhere, 7,704 (92%) of fans are delighted with the arrivals of Mac Allister and Szoboszlai after saying the midfield department should be Liverpool’s top priority in the transfer window.

Nevertheless, 76% of fans are still not satisfied. They think the Reds will need to sign between four and seven players this summer. Romeo Lavia, Levi Colwill and Kephram Thuram have recently been linked with a move to Anfield.

Although there was no full trust in the FSG during the investigation, Liverpool fans have faith in the new sporting director Jorg Schmadtke. The 59-year-old recently replaced Julian Ward and is trusted by 80% (6495) of fans to help sort out the Reds’ transfer deal.
