Liverpool weigh Curtis Jones interest as Iraola starts work

Liverpool are preparing a move for a £34m-rated young talent to spearhead Andoni Iraola’s era, billed as his answer to Bellingham.
Liverpool have opened talks with Real Oviedo for Haissem Hassan, aiming to negotiate below his €12m clause. Celtic are preparing a €7m-€8m bid as both clubs pursue the Egypt World Cup winger, who is under contract until 2027.
Inter are considering a new bid for Curtis Jones after a €25m offer was rejected. Liverpool value him at around €40m (£34m) and are prepared to keep him if that figure is not met, with one year left on his deal as Iraola weighs midfield options.
Liverpool’s interest in PSG winger Bradley Barcola has been met by a stance valuing him at around £128m, tempering any move under Andoni Iraola.
