Inter Milan are currently the frontrunners to sign Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones this summer, with the player reportedly open to a move to Italy as his future at Anfield remains uncertain. The news comes as contract negotiations between Jones and Liverpool have been temporarily paused while both parties reassess their positions.
Jones, 25, has over 12 months remaining on his current contract and has been a long-term prospect for the Merseyside club, progressing through their academy system. However, according to TEAMtalk, his contract situation has become a key issue for Liverpool as they approach the summer transfer window. Aston Villa and Newcastle United have also expressed interest in the England international, appreciating his versatility and ability to play multiple midfield roles.
Inter Milan first contacted Liverpool regarding Jones in January and have now revisited their interest with the intention of accelerating talks. The Serie A side view Jones as a suitable addition to their midfield, citing his technical quality, tactical flexibility, and experience at the elite level. Sources suggest Jones is intrigued by the prospect of playing in Serie A and would consider a move if an agreement can be reached.
Inter Milan have reportedly communicated a firm stance on the potential transfer, stating they will not overspend to secure Jones’s signature. They believe Liverpool’s current contract situation with the player may work in their favour during negotiations. Liverpool maintain they are not actively seeking to sell Jones and still value his contribution to the squad, but acknowledge a significant decision regarding his future may be unavoidable.
Jones has made over 200 appearances for Liverpool since his debut and is well-regarded within the club for his professionalism and connection to the fans. Despite this, TEAMtalk reports that the midfielder is seriously considering a new challenge abroad, making a transfer increasingly likely. A move to Inter Milan would provide Jones with a new environment to further develop his career and contribute to a club with ambitions in both Serie A and European competition.
