Liverpool’s Curtis Jones Transfer Saga Takes a Dramatic Turn
The ongoing transfer saga surrounding Liverpool’s Curtis Jones has taken a significant turn, with Italian champions Inter Milan’s €40m bid failing to materialize. The 25-year-old English midfielder’s contract with the Reds is set to expire in 2027, leaving the club with a limited window to cash in on his services.

Inter Milan have been linked with Jones for several transfer windows, with the Italian champions attempting to sign him in January. However, Liverpool’s sporting director, Richard Hughes, rejected the initial bid, citing the club’s valuation of the midfielder.
According to Fabrizio Romano, a renowned transfer expert, Inter Milan’s recent bid of around €32m (approximately £27m) was also unsuccessful. Romano revealed that Liverpool’s stance on Jones’ transfer remains unchanged, with the club insisting on a minimum of €40m upfront.
Speaking to his YouTube audience, Romano emphasized that Liverpool’s position on Jones’ transfer is clear-cut: ‘Liverpool are starting from €40 million. That’s the figure. €25m plus €5m, €30m plus €2m, all these kinds of formulas — Liverpool are not interested. It’s €40m.’
The Reds’ new head coach, Andoni Iraola, has also weighed in on the matter, expressing his desire to keep Jones at the club. In a recent press conference, Iraola stated, ‘I want to keep Curtis Jones here. I want him to be part of our project this year and for the future. He’s an important player, he knows Liverpool, he comes from here — he’s someone I want to keep with us.’
With Liverpool’s resolve on Jones’ transfer remaining firm, it appears that Inter Milan’s €40m bid has hit a brick wall. However, Romano hinted that the Italian champions may revisit their offer in the future, stating, ‘If Inter decide to make a financial effort and move closer to Liverpool’s demands, we’ll report it.’
What’s Next for Curtis Jones?
As the transfer saga surrounding Jones continues to unfold, fans of the Liverpool midfielder will be eagerly awaiting the next development. Will Inter Milan’s bid eventually materialize, or will Liverpool hold firm on their €40m valuation? Only time will tell.
In the meantime, Jones will continue to be a key player for the Reds, with the English midfielder set to feature prominently in the club’s preseason preparations. Given his importance to the team, it’s clear that Liverpool will stop at nothing to keep him at the club.
