Alongside a flurry of laughing emojis from fellow users, one commented: "This guy is staying thank god," while another responded: "As surprised as we are."The development comes amid ongoing uncertainty surrounding Jones' future at Anfield, with Andoni Iraola anticipated to bolster his first-team squad this summer as he looks to make an impact in both the Premier League and European competition, reports the Liverpool Echo.Curtis Jones took to social media to question reports of his exit being agreedArne Slot could only manage a fifth-place finish in 2025/26, despite the board splashing nearly $600M on new arrivals for the league champions.Liverpool is reportedly holding firm on a minimum asking price of $40M (£30M) for Jones, with Inter Milan reluctant to meet that figure despite its long-standing interest in the midfielder.
