The midfielder had already been close to this transfer in January, but that fell apart when Davide Frattesi stayed on at San Siro.
Now with a contract that runs down in June 2027, the Nerazzurri are ready to try again and this time Liverpool could be convinced to make a sale.

Meanwhile, others are advising Inter to go for the England international, who came up through the Liverpool youth academy.
“He would be a really good signing, he is a mezz’ala with pace, a player suited to the Champions League,” former Italy and Inter player Cassano said on the Viva El Futbol podcast.
“He would be better than McTominay. He has a lot of quality and has won a lot at Liverpool while actually playing, not like Zaccardo and Barzagli who are World Cup winners and played very little.”

Cassano is no stranger to controversial comments and made other rather bold claims in the same podcast when trying to draw up his Inter squad for next season.

If you have Nico Paz behind Thuram and Lautaro Martinez, they can hand you the Scudetto before you even start.
“In Italy, Inter could play 2-3-5 and still win.”

What happened
Curtis Jones has again been linked with a move from Liverpool to Inter after reportedly showing social media interest in the Serie A champions. The article says a January move previously came close but did not happen when Davide Frattesi stayed at San Siro. With Jones under contract until June 2027, Inter are said to be willing to revisit the deal. Former Inter player Antonio Cassano added to the discussion by praising Jones and claiming he would be an upgrade on Scott McTominay in stylistic terms.
Chance analysis
This matters mainly as an early transfer-market signal rather than a decisive squad update. If Inter seriously pursue Jones, it points to a search for more pace and ball-carrying quality in midfield, while Liverpool would face a potential rotation-depth question. For betting and prediction purposes, this is still too speculative to materially alter team ratings on its own.
The likely near-term effect is minor transfer speculation around Inter's midfield plans and Jones's Liverpool future.
Treat this as low-confidence transfer noise unless followed by credible club-level reporting or concrete negotiation details.
