Speaking during the club’s pre-season tour of the United States, Iraola drew parallels between Liverpool and his former club Athletic Club. “It’s very important that he’s Scouse, that he’s from here,” Iraola said.

From the outside, at least, he looks like a player with good character, and I hope we can keep him, not only for this year but for more time. Speaking at his pre-match press conference on Friday afternoon ahead of Liverpool’s season opener against Newcastle United, Iraola confirmed the midfielder’s departure and admitted he had hoped to retain Jones’ services.

“Yes [I wanted to keep him], Curtis is a good player, but I understood this,” Iraola stated. I value him a lot as a player.
