Overview
- Inter are preparing a new approach for Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones after reporting showed Liverpool had eased its €40m demand toward the mid-€30m range.
- Sources say Jones has pushed for the move and was left out of recent Liverpool pre-season squads, a development that transfer insiders reported on Sunday as negotiations looked set to intensify.
- Inter’s ability to complete the transfer has been weakened because Davide Frattesi’s loan-to-buy deal produced less immediate cash than the club expected, increasing pressure to sell other players.
- Luis Henrique is Inter’s primary sale candidate, with Roma close to a roughly €30m package but stalled talks over the player’s wage demands and fresh Premier League interest complicating the exit.
- If Inter sell Henrique and secure extra funds, they could finalise a bid for Jones before the window closes, a result that would reshape Inter’s midfield and leave Liverpool weighing short-term income against keeping a homegrown player with one year left on his contract.
