Overview
- Early August reports from Italian outlets and multiple UK sources say Curtis Jones has declined Liverpool’s contract extension and prefers a move to Inter Milan.
- Inter are understood to have offered about €35 million while Liverpool are holding out for roughly €40 million, leaving a narrow but unresolved valuation gap.
- Liverpool reportedly withdrew a proposed straight loan to Inter at the last moment, a move that stalled linked talks such as Davide Frattesi’s potential exit from Inter.
- Club officials have grown frustrated with informal approaches and insist on a formal club-to-club bid before engaging in deeper negotiations.
- If no suitable offer arrives Liverpool can either push a new contract or keep Jones for the season, but the contract timing means the club may face the real risk of a free departure in summer 2027.
