Inter poised as Curtis Jones enters final year of Liverpool contract

Inter are expected to renew their interest in Curtis Jones this summer, when the Liverpool midfielder will enter the final 12 months of his contract.

Jones has been in talks with his boyhood club over a new deal for several months but no agreement has been reached on an extension. The Italian champions, who inquired about the 25-year-old in January, remain keen on the England international and are likely to make another approach in the summer window.

Liverpool value Jones at around £35m given his age and pedigree. It remains to be seen whether Inter will match that fee for a player who could be available on a free in 2027.

Jones has struggled to secure a regular starting role in Arne Slot’s midfield and has been deployed recently as an emergency right-back. The boyhood Liverpool fan was one of several players to like Mohamed Salah’s withering social media attack on the team’s style of play on Saturday.
