Inter Milan Continues Pursuit of Curtis Jones
Inter Milan is looking to strengthen its midfield before the transfer window closes, and one of the club's top targets is Curtis Jones. However, convincing Liverpool to part ways with the English midfielder will not be easy.
According to the Daily Mail, the Italian giants have already submitted a significant offer in an attempt to sign Jones, but the response from Anfield was immediate.
Liverpool Rejects the Opening Offer
According to the report, Inter Milan offered around £30 million for Curtis Jones.
However, Liverpool rejected the proposal, believing the midfielder is worth considerably more and that the bid does not reflect his importance to the club's long-term project.
While the Reds have not completely ruled out the possibility of a sale, their position is clear: they will only consider offers that come much closer to their valuation of the player.
Why Does Inter Want Curtis Jones?
Inter's interest in Curtis Jones is nothing new.
The club's sporting department has been monitoring the England international for several months, convinced that he possesses the qualities needed to strengthen the midfield.
From a tactical standpoint, Jones stands out for his ability to carry the ball forward, break defensive lines with his runs, and provide balance between defensive work and creative play.
He is also capable of playing as a central midfielder, a box-to-box player, or in a more advanced role when the team needs additional attacking support, making his versatility one of his greatest strengths.
Liverpool Is Under No Pressure to Sell
Although Curtis Jones has had to compete for playing time in a squad filled with talent over the past few seasons, he continues to be viewed as a valuable member of Andoni Iraola's squad.
With his contract running until 2027, Liverpool holds a strong negotiating position and has no urgency to sell the midfielder during this transfer window.
For that reason, if Inter Milan truly wants to bring the Englishman to Serie A, it will need to significantly improve its offer to meet Liverpool's financial expectations.
For now, negotiations remain open, but the gap between Inter's bid and Liverpool's valuation keeps the deal far from being completed. With several weeks still left in the transfer window, Curtis Jones' future may ultimately depend on whether the Italian club is willing to return with a much more convincing proposal.
