Inter Make Opening Bid for Curtis Jones as Valuation Gap Persists

The €20–25m offer highlights Inter’s plan to raise funds and Liverpool’s dwindling leverage as Jones enters the final year of his contract.

Overview

  • Inter Milan have submitted an opening offer reported at about €20–25m for Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones, according to Italian and UK outlets.
  • Liverpool are holding out for roughly €30–35m and are said to want add-ons and a sell-on clause, leaving a clear gap between the clubs' valuations.
  • Inter are exploring funding the move by selling Davide Frattesi, with reports linking Frattesi to Nottingham Forest and suggesting proceeds would finance a higher bid.
  • Curtis Jones, 25, is reportedly receptive to a move to Italy and has one year left on his contract, a timeline that weakens Liverpool’s negotiating position as the summer progresses.
  • Negotiations remain active but unresolved in mid‑June, and the outcome will shape Liverpool’s squad planning and transfer strategy this window while potentially setting up a decision point before Jones can leave on a free next summer.
