Curtis Jones, a midfielder with a €30m deal lined up, is set to move to Inter Milan. The English international, 25, has been a target for Inter since January but Liverpool declined to make a deal. Jones, who has played primarily as a right-back under Arne Slot, has expressed a desire for a more prominent role in midfield. With his contract expiring in 2027 and no renewal expected, a separation appears imminent.
Inter must meet Liverpool's valuation for Jones, which Italian sources insist is €40m and non-negotiable. Financial constraints have hampered Inter's ability to meet this figure, as the club has struggled to raise sufficient funds through the sale of Davide Frattesi, who has been sold for a bargain €5m with a potential €10m buyout.
Inter is now considering selling other players to free up funds for Jones. Additionally, Inter has set its sights on Brazilian wing-back Luis Henrique, valued at around €30m, which could provide the necessary funds to complete the Jones transfer.
