Curtis Jones transfer saga: Liverpool rejects Inter Milan's €40m bid

Inter Milan have submitted several offers – reported at €32‑35 million – for Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones. Liverpool have turned each down, insisting the 25‑year‑old is worth more than €40 million. Manager Andoni Iraola has publicly stated he wants to keep Jones, describing him as a "great player" and emphasizing his local roots. Jones is under contract until 2027 and could sign a pre‑contract with another club from New Year’s Day 2027, but Liverpool have made clear a sale will only happen if the asking price is met. The Italian club values Jones for his versatility and experience, yet the price gap remains a barrier. Other suitors such as Nottingham Forest have been mentioned but have not lodged formal bids. Liverpool, facing midfield depth issues after the departure of Mohamed Salah and injuries to other players, see retaining Jones as important for the upcoming season.
