Overview
- Liverpool have turned down an improved Inter Milan offer worth about £27m and are publicly holding out for a higher valuation reported between roughly £30m and €40m.
- New head coach Andoni Iraola has publicly praised Jones and held direct talks with him, reopening the possibility that the club will retain and reassess the midfielder in pre‑season.
- Jones is entering the final year of his contract in 2027 and earlier extension talks produced no agreement, which reduces Liverpool’s negotiating leverage for a sale this summer.
- Italian reports and multiple outlets say Inter’s pursuit has lost momentum while other interested clubs have become less prominent, narrowing the window for a deal before pre‑season progress is judged.
- Liverpool must now weigh short‑term income against squad stability because keeping Jones would offer a homegrown, versatile option under Iraola while selling now risks underselling a player who wants regular starts.
