Curtis Jones Travels to Italy for Inter Medical After Transfer Agreed
Liverpool backed down this week and accepted a £30M fee for the want-away homegrown midfielder.
Midfielder Curtis Jones has traveled to Italy to complete his medical and sign his contract with Inter Milan, as Liverpool accepted a £30M (€35M) transfer fee for the player after initially setting a £35M (€40.8M) valuation. The deal, which includes a 10% sell-on clause for any future sales, is now finalized. Jones, 25, had previously agreed to personal terms with Inter Milan.
While Liverpool faces Newcastle in their Premier League opener on Sunday, Inter Milan begins their Serie A campaign on Saturday against Monza. The transfer has raised questions about the quality of the Liverpool squad under sporting director Richard Hughes, who has failed to make the necessary signings to strengthen the team over his three-year tenure.
