Liverpool frustrated by latest Inter attempt for Curtis Jones

Reports in the UK claim that Liverpool are growing ‘increasingly frustrated’ with Inter and their attempts to lower the valuation of midfielder Curtis Jones, for whom the Nerazzurri have seen a bid of €25m turned down.

Inter have made no secret of the fact that they are attempting to bring English midfielder Jones to San Siro for the 2026-27 season but have thus far been unable to convince Liverpool into parting ways with their academy graduate.

“Jones is a player we’ve been paying attention to for some time. We tried to negotiate in January and we will try again. If we find a common ground, great. Otherwise, we will do something else,” said Nerazzurri sporting director Piero Ausilio in an interview earlier this month.

The 25-year-old will be heading into the final year of his Liverpool contract this summer, and Inter feel that this is an opportunity to snatch a Premier League-proven midfielder at a below-market rate.

However, the club’s most recent bid of €25m (£21m) for Jones was turned down by Liverpool according to reports from various outlets over the weekend.

According to The Times in the UK, the senior management team at Liverpool are growing ‘increasingly frustrated’ with Inter’s attempts to lower the asking price for Jones. The Premier League side have made it clear that they want roughly €40m (£35m) for Jones this summer, despite the fact that he will be heading into the final year of his contract.
