Jones missed the game vs Monaco with Andoni Iraola explaining it to be avoiding any unnecessary fitness risk ahead of the new season.
However, his absence from both of Liverpool’s pre-season friendlies vs Como suggests that the omission was no mere tactical rest, but a clear signal that negotiations are actively progressing behind the scenes.
With the player reportedly eager for a new challenge in Serie A, the onus is now entirely on the two clubs to find a financial compromise to finalize the transfer.
Curtis Jones is eyed by Inter Milan
Inter Milan have identified the dynamic English midfielder as a primary target to bolster their squad this season.
Reports indicate that the Italian giants are preparing a fresh bid in the region of £30 million (€35 million) after Liverpool slightly softened their initial valuation.
The transfer is understood to be heavily dependent on moving pieces within Inter’s own squad, specifically the anticipated departure of Davide Frattesi to free up necessary space and funds.
Once that domino falls, Inter are fully expected to present…
