Liverpool maintains 30 million request for Curtis Jones despite interest from Inter

Liverpool are preparing for a major transfer window, with Curtis Jones at the center of European attention. The English club resists offers lower than the 30 million euros requested by Milan's Inter.

Liverpool are preparing for a summer of major squad changes, but one name continues to generate growing interest across Europe. Curtis Jones, a midfielder who has spent his entire career at Anfield, is now at the center of intense speculation as Milan's Inter intensify their pursuit to acquire him. With the contract entering its final year and without there having been an agreement on an extension, Liverpool are faced with a decision that could significantly affect the summer transfer window. According to what was reported in Italy, the club maintains its assessment, despite Inter's determination to close the deal.

The recent debate around Curtis Jones has focused on his contract situation. The 25-year-old will become a free agent in the summer of 2027, meaning Liverpool are at a critical juncture regarding his future. Although Inter have long-standing interest, Liverpool have shown no signs of accepting a lower fee. This position has become clearer after the latest news from La Gazzetta dello Sport. "Jones' situation is different. There is still confidence in reaching an agreement with Liverpool, but the Reds remain resistant, as they intend to collect 30 million euros for the sale of the English midfielder, including a percentage of his future transfer. Inter, for their part, are stuck with around 20 players and are waiting, confident in the player's desire and with a contract expiring in a year."


The asking price highlights Liverpool's determination to maximize the value of a potential sale. A figure of €30m, along with a future sell-on clause, would ensure the club retain some long-term interest in Jones' development, should he decide to leave Anfield. Inter's interest seems genuine and immediate. The Serie A giants are keen to have new additions integrated quickly as they prepare for next season. La Gazzetta dello Sport explained the club's reasoning: "The goalkeeper, central defender and midfielder are close. Chivu would like them to be available in Germany from 16 July." This suggests Inter would prefer to complete negotiations before Liverpool's pre-season program gets underway. However, Liverpool's firm assessment means any deal remains dependent on finding common ground.

The Italian club are convinced that Jones is open to this move, but Liverpool's negotiating position gives them considerable room for manoeuvre, despite the contractual situation. The arrival of Andoni Iraola as Liverpool manager introduces another important factor. Jones has experienced mixed fortunes in recent seasons and has often found himself adapting to different tactical roles. With a new coaching staff now assessing the squad, uncertainty remains as to where the midfielder fits into Liverpool's long-term plans. For Liverpool, the decision is not purely financial. Jones is a product of the academy, has experience at Premier League level and can cover multiple positions. Replacing these features would require careful planning, especially if further changes in midfield occur during the transfer window. This reality may explain why Liverpool resist pressure to lower their demands. Liverpool's transfer strategy this summer appears to be focused on balancing player signings and sales. A major investment in new signings means exits will play a key role in funding further deals. Curtis Jones has emerged as one of the most marketable assets available, but Liverpool's position suggests they will not authorize an exit simply to facilitate moves elsewhere. By setting a valuation of €30 million and seeking a percentage of future resale, Liverpool make it clear that any departure must represent strong value for the club. If Milan's Inter are finally willing to meet these conditions it could result in one of the most-watched transfer stories of the summer. For now, Liverpool remain in control of the situation and show little sign of wanting to compromise on price.
