Liverpool have turned down Inter Milan\u2019s reported \u20ac25 million offer for Curtis Jones as the clubs remain apart on valuation. The bid was described by The Athletic as a “verbal offer” and came significantly short of the fee Liverpool are seeking.<\/p>\n
The Reds are believed to want roughly \u20ac40 million, using the fee Tottenham Hotspur paid Atl\u00e9tico Madrid for Conor Gallagher in January as a benchmark. Inter\u2019s interest in Jones dates back to the January window, when Liverpool rejected an initial proposal for a loan with an option to buy.<\/p>\n
Reports say Inter\u2019s latest approach was “instantly rebuffed” and that Liverpool intend to stand firm on their valuation, making a deal this summer unlikely. It is understood the club would prefer to risk the possibility of losing Jones for free next summer rather than accept a cut-price sale now.<\/p>\n
That stance is influenced by recent departures. This summer Liverpool allowed Ibrahima Konat\u00e9, Andy Robertson and Mohamed Salah to leave without recouping a transfer fee. Trent Alexander-Arnold departed the club for around \u20ac10 million ($11.5 million) a year ago, as part of an agreement to join Real Madrid before his contract expired.<\/p>\n
Jones, 25, is under contract until 2027, making this summer the last realistic chance to generate a significant transfer fee for the midfielder. The club\u2019s accounting context also factors in. Under the Premier League\u2019s Profitability and Sustainability Rules, the sale of an academy graduate would count as “pure profit” on the books, a financial reality that has influenced discussions.<\/p>\n
A local figure at Anfield, Jones joined the club at the age of nine and has made well over 200 senior appearances since his debut in 2019. He is a six-cap England international, has captained the side on more than one occasion and is valued for his versatility and tidy possession play. Some outlets, including Gazzetta dello Sport, claim Jones views his time at Liverpool as already over, but at present the club\u2019s position makes an immediate transfer unlikely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
