There may be one sticking point between Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool when it comes to the negotiations regarding Curtis Jones.
Spurs are eyeing a double raid of Anfield this summer, should they manage to secure their Premier League status.
According to reports, Andy Robertson has already agreed to move to Spurs as long as the club avoids relegation from the Premier League.
A couple of days ago, The Daily Mail reported that apart from Robertson, Tottenham are also set to pursue a deal for Curtis Jones after exploring a move for the midfielder during the January window.
Tottenham and Liverpool do not agree on Curtis Jones’ valuation
A new report from TEAMtalk has now relayed The Mail’s update, and they provide their own information on Spurs’ pursuit of the England international.
The outlet claims that Tottenham have been admirers of Jones for a long time, and their interest in the 25-year-old has not gone away despite the arrival of Roberto De Zerbi.
The midfielder wants regular starts under his belt, which is something he cannot get at Anfield, with a summer transfer thus very much on the cards.

However, it is revealed that the North Londoners value Jones at £30m while Liverpool are expected to ‘surely’ demand a bigger fee. It thus remains to see if the two clubs can overcome that difference and strike an agreement.
Spurs want to keep their midfield intact even if they get relegated
One would imagine Jones’ proposed switch to Tottenham to be contingent on the club staying in the Premier League, but the Lilywhites are also making plans for what to do if they go down.
According to TEAMtalk, Spurs consider Archie Gray, James Maddison and Conor Gallagher untouchable even if they are relegated.
The outlet claimed that all three English midfielders are ready to remain at Tottenham next season, no matter what happens in the final six matches.
