Inter Milan are in advanced talks to sign Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones, with the player himself reportedly inquiring about life in Italy with teammate Federico Chiesa. The potential transfer is driven by Jones’s desire for a new challenge in Serie A, and Inter’s need to strengthen their midfield options.
According to reports, Jones recently asked Chiesa about the experience of playing in Italy, suggesting a serious interest in the move. While an agreement in principle has been reached between Inter and Jones’s representatives, negotiations with Liverpool remain ongoing. The primary sticking point is the transfer fee, with a reported gap of around €10 million between the clubs’ valuations.
Jones’s current contract with Liverpool is set to expire in the summer of 2027, meaning he could potentially pre-contract with another club as early as January. This timeline adds pressure on Liverpool to either secure a new deal or cash in on the player now, rather than risk losing him for free. Inter are hoping to capitalize on this situation and secure a bargain for a player of Jones’s caliber.
The Reds are reportedly seeking a fee in the region of €20-25 million, alongside a significant percentage of any future resale value. Inter’s management, led by Ausilio and Marotta, are attempting to negotiate this percentage downwards. These are typical market dynamics, and a resolution is expected in the coming weeks. Chiesa himself has publicly stated that Jones is a “technically very strong” player, further endorsing the potential signing. The club is currently prioritizing other targets, such as Valentin Carboni, but are still actively pursuing Jones. A successful transfer would provide Inter with a dynamic midfielder and potentially offer Jones a platform to further develop his career.
