Curtis Jones is increasingly likely to leave Liverpool this summer, with Inter Milan intensifying negotiations to secure the signing of the young midfielder. The Italian club is willing to raise its offer to €35 million (£30 million), after an initial proposal of €25 million was rejected by the Reds in June. This move comes at a time when Jones has just one year left on his contract at Anfield.
Inter's intermediaries contacted Liverpool again this week, reiterating their intention to proceed with a more robust offer for a player who has not established himself as a key starter in Jürgen Klopp's lineup. Jones's situation has generated some frustration, especially following an incident where he had a disagreement with teammate Dominik Szoboszlai during a recent friendly in New York, related to the captain's armband.
Liverpool's new manager, Andoni Iraola, has expressed his desire to keep Jones, emphasizing the importance of preserving local identity in his first season at the helm. However, Inter's determination to secure the England international, combined with the possibility of losing him without any compensation next summer, may test the English club's resolve in retaining the young talent.
As negotiations progress, pressure mounts on Liverpool. If Inter's proposal is accepted, Jones could begin a new chapter in his career in Italian football, while Liverpool faces the challenge of replacing a player who, despite struggling to establish himself, is regarded as a product of their academy. With the transfer window closing soon, all interested parties are closely watching the developments of this deal, which could have significant repercussions for the future of both clubs.
