Inter Milan are on the verge of securing Curtis Jones from Liverpool, with the Serie A side closing in on a €35 million (£30 million) transfer for the 25-year-old midfielder.
The Italian club has reportedly established a verbal agreement with Liverpool over the deal, marking a significant step forward in negotiations that have stretched across recent weeks. Inter’s persistence appears to be paying dividends after Liverpool initially rejected an earlier offer of €25 million, signaling the Merseyside club’s valuation had been set considerably higher.
Liverpool’s asking price of approximately £35 million reflects the midfielder’s importance to the club during the tenure of previous manager Jurgen Klopp. However, with new manager Arne Slot now overseeing operations at Anfield, the club’s willingness to negotiate at the €35 million figure suggests a potential resolution to the protracted discussions is imminent.
Jones has been a consistent presence in Liverpool’s midfield, representing a homegrown talent developed within the club’s academy system. His departure would mark a significant outgoings for the Premier League side as they navigate the summer transfer window under their new management structure.
The transfer represents Inter’s continued investment in bolstering their midfield options as they prepare for another competitive Serie A campaign. The Nerazzurri have demonstrated their ambition in the market by pursuing the Liverpool midfielder persistently, even after an initial rejection of their lower bid.
