Inter Milan have renewed their pursuit of Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones, with reports indicating the Serie A club has made direct contact with the Premier League side. Jones, a 23-year-old academy graduate, has made 139 appearances for Liverpool but faces increased competition for minutes this season. Inter are believed to have indicated through intermediaries a willingness to pay up to €35 million (£29.9 million) for the England Under-21 international. The situation has been complicated by conflicting reports. Some outlets claim Liverpool have rejected an earlier approach and are considering offering Jones a new contract, while others suggest the player is ready to push for a move to Milan. Reports also disagree on whether Liverpool are demanding a formal bid before the transfer window closes.
Inter Milan renew pursuit of Liverpool's Curtis Jones
Inter Milan have revived their pursuit of Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones, with the Serie A side making contact over a potential transfer. Reports indicate the Italian club have expressed renewed interest in the 23-year-old, though the exact timeline of their initial and latest approaches remains unclear.
According to some sources, Inter have made direct contact with Liverpool regarding Jones. Other outlets suggest the communication has been conducted through intermediaries rather than directly between the clubs. The level of confidence in these claims varies across reports.

€35m offer and a rejected approach
Intermediaries have indicated to Liverpool that Inter Milan are prepared to pay up to €35 million (£29.9 million) for Curtis Jones. Reports from some outlets, including TeamTalk and GiveMeSport, put the offer in US dollars at $40.5 million, though the exact figure in euros or pounds has not been confirmed. According to multiple sources, Liverpool rejected an earlier approach from the Italian club. The same reports suggest the Premier League side is now demanding a formal written bid before the transfer window closes, rather than further informal inquiries. No official offer has been publicly acknowledged by either club, and the timeline of Inter’s initial contact and Liverpool’s rejection remains unclear.
Jones's stance and the Szoboszlai incident
Reports differ on Curtis Jones’s own position. According to some outlets, the midfielder is ready to push for a move to Inter Milan and has already made a decision on a new contract with Liverpool. Other reports suggest Liverpool are considering offering Jones an extended deal, though no formal offer has been confirmed.
What is not in dispute is that Jones was involved in a heated on-field argument with Liverpool teammate Dominik Szoboszlai. The incident, whose exact cause remains unclear, has fuelled speculation about tension in the dressing room. Whether that exchange is connected to the transfer talks is unknown. The conflicting accounts of Jones’s intentions — either pushing for a move or weighing a new contract — reflect the broader uncertainty around his future at Anfield.
Deadline and next steps
Reports differ on the immediate mechanics of any potential deal. According to some sources, Inter Milan have set a deadline for Liverpool to respond regarding Jones’s transfer. The same accounts suggest Liverpool are demanding a formal bid from the Italian club before the transfer window closes. Other reports, however, indicate that Liverpool have already rejected an earlier approach from Inter, and that the Merseyside club is instead considering offering Jones a new contract. The conflicting accounts make it unclear whether a formal offer has been submitted or is still awaited. What is consistent is that the clock is running: if Inter want Jones, they will need to act before the window shuts.
