Inter have submitted an offer of €30m rising to €35m (£30m) for Curtis Jones, with the Liverpool midfielder expected to leave his boyhood club after a 16-year association. Jones has been a target for Inter since January and was the subject of a failed €25m bid from them in June.

What happened
Inter Milan have submitted a formal £30 million offer for Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones, according to The Guardian. The 25-year-old academy product looks set to depart Anfield after a spell in which he struggled for consistent minutes under the current Liverpool setup. Inter are pushing to complete the deal before the end of the window, framing Jones as a creative addition to their midfield. Liverpool, meanwhile, are weighing whether to reinvest the fee before deadline day or hold firm on their squad.
Chance analysis
A £30m move for Curtis Jones would mark the end of a long association between the academy graduate and Liverpool, signaling a clear shift in the club's midfield identity. For Inter, adding a Premier League-proven, ball-progressing midfielder fits their recent recruitment pattern of targeting technically refined English talent. The story will carry weight at both ends: Liverpool's decision on a replacement and Inter's capacity to integrate Jones into Serie A's tactical demands will define whether this reads as a shrewd move or a sideways step.
Liverpool's midfield depth is weakened by Jones's likely departure, while Inter's attacking-midfield options are reinforced by a Premier League-proven player.
