Overview
- Liverpool rejected Inter’s verbal €25m (£21.7m) approach on Sunday, June 21, saying the bid was far below their valuation for the 25‑year‑old academy graduate.
- The club is holding out for about £35m and a reported 10–15% resale clause and has made clear it would rather keep Jones for the final year of his contract than accept a cut‑price sale.
- Curtis Jones is reported to be open to a move and has stopped formal contract-extension talks with Liverpool, creating pressure on the club but not forcing an immediate sale.
- Inter remain persistent and want to complete business before mid‑July pre‑season but may need outgoing sales or higher bids to bridge the sizable valuation gap.
- The standoff shapes Liverpool’s summer planning by affecting funds available for recruits and by prompting talk of replacements such as Alex Scott or Adam Wharton if Jones departs.
