Inter Milan refuse to give up on Curtis Jones. Despite seeing a fresh 25 million euro approach turned down instantly, the Serie A champions are already exploring a new proposal. Liverpool’s stance, however, remains unmoved for now.
The Reds have made their position clear throughout the summer. Anything below their 40 million euro valuation gets rejected without hesitation. Liverpool view Jones as a genuine asset, not simply a squad player to be sold cheaply.
Inter’s last verbal approach actually convinced Liverpool a deal wasn’t happening at all. Talks cooled soon after. Yet persistence defines this pursuit. The Nerazzurri have circled back once more, testing whether patience and a sweetened package might finally shift Anfield’s thinking.
Jones enters the final year of his contract, a factor Inter believe strengthens their hand. Liverpool, though, would rather risk a free transfer next summer than accept a bargain fee now. That gamble says plenty about how highly the club rates him internally, even without a new contract signed yet.
Waiting Game Continues in Milan and Merseyside
No formal talks have restarted between the two clubs. Instead, background conversations continue while Inter finalise their next move. Speed matters here. Competition for midfield reinforcements across Europe keeps rising, and Inter know delaying too long could cost them their top target entirely.
Liverpool, meanwhile, appear entirely comfortable either way. Keep Jones and strengthen depth around him. Sell him for the right price and reinvest immediately elsewhere. Few clubs manage that kind of leverage so calmly during a chaotic transfer window.
For Jones himself, the situation carries real weight. Regular football under new management matters more than loyalty alone at this stage of his career. Whether that ambition gets fulfilled at Anfield or in Milan depends entirely on numbers still far apart.
