Inter Milan remain hopeful Liverpool will lower their asking price for Curtis Jones before the transfer window closes, with the midfielder reportedly open to a move to Italy amid uncertainty over his Anfield future.
Nottingham Forest have reportedly joined the race for Curtis Jones, but Liverpool are said to demand £40million for the England midfielder amid stalled talks with Inter Milan.
With Anfield in flux and a reported £43m push for Malik Tillman, Andoni Iraola’s first transfer call reads less like a shopping list and more like a statement of intent for a club that needs midfield courage, not caution.
Liverpool have officially completed the £60m signing of Jeremy Jacquet from Stade Rennais, with Curtis Jones and Federico Chiesa now emerging as the most likely departures after Konate, Robertson and Salah exits reshaped the squad.
Inter Milan have offered around €20 million for Curtis Jones, while Liverpool are demanding over €30 million and refusing to budge; the Nerazzurri have warned they may pull out of negotiations, with Arsenal reportedly emerging as a potential deal-breaker.
Inter Milan have had two bids rejected as Liverpool hold firm on their £35 million asking price. Jones wants to leave but has only one year remaining on his contract.
Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones is leaning toward leaving, with Inter Milan offering around €20 million, though a gap remains between the two sides.
Liverpool are stepping up their pursuit of Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton and plan to let Curtis Jones join Inter Milan as they rebuild their midfield around Dominik Szoboszlai.
Italian media report Liverpool are in talks with Inter over a move for Curtis Jones; the Reds have struggled in their title defense and Arne Slot's team selection has come under scrutiny.
Liverpool confirmed Slot's departure on Saturday, with Iraola the leading candidate to replace him; the Reds drew 1-1 with Brentford on the final day to finish fifth on 60 points but still secured Champions League qualification.
