Liverpool's Curtis Jones Linked With Nottingham Forest Transfer

[INTEREST]

As this thread opens, there is one source moving the needle — and it is enough to log concrete interest, if not yet a conversation.

What moved: According to GiveMeSport - Transfer News, Nottingham Forest are eyeing Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones as a priority target under head coach Oliver Glasner — framed, notably, as Glasner’s first signing of intent. The outlet’s framing suggests this is a deliberate recruitment choice rather than a name on a longlist.

What we know at this stage: GiveMeSport - Transfer News (tier 3) carries the report; no corroborating outlet has matched it at the time of writing. Under this desk’s sourcing rules, a single tier-3 report keeps the card at interest — concrete interest, one source so far — and that is where it stays until a second outlet of standing picks it up or either club moves the story on.

No fee has been reported. No contract length has been attached to the speculation. The card meter reflects a 25 per cent probability, which is consistent with the early shape of this — a directional signal, not a structured approach.

The Glasner angle: The headline framing — “Glasner’s First” — is worth noting analytically. If Forest’s recruitment is being organised around the new head coach’s preferences from the outset, Jones would represent a genuine statement of intent: a technically assured central midfielder with Champions League experience at club level, still only 24. Whether Liverpool would entertain selling — and at what point in the window — is a question this card cannot yet answer.

Socceroos/Matildas line: Jones holds no Australian international eligibility, so there is no direct national-team implication for this window.

What’s left before the next stage: A second outlet matching Forest’s interest, or any indication that Liverpool have received — or responded to — an approach, would move this card to talks. Until then, this is filed as reported and unconfirmed interest, with the thread open.

Next update: if a second outlet reports contact, or either club’s position becomes known.
