Attributed to original sourceAfter a verbal agreement, Inter have now reportedly sent their formal offer to Liverpool for Curtis Jones, at €30m plus €5m add-ons and a percentage of the future sale.
The negotiations have been going for the best part of a year, as the midfielder had already been pushing to come to San Siro in January.
With his contract set to expire at the end of this season, Liverpool found they had to lower the €40m demand a little bit to get this deal over the line.

Now Sky Sport Italia note that Inter have sent the written proposal, which is €30m plus €5m in add-ons, and a cut of the future sale fee.

Jones can become the third England international to come to Inter this summer after John Stones, who was a free agent from Manchester City, and Tottenham Hotspur full-back Djed Spence.
If all goes well, then Jones should fly out tomorrow and have his Inter medical before the weekend.
It probably won’t all be completed in time for him to be part of the squad for the opening Serie A match of the season against Monza on Saturday at 17.30 UK time (18.30 CEST).

What happened
Inter Milan have made their move official by submitting a written bid to Liverpool for Jones. The offer is structured as a €30m base fee with an additional €5m achievable through bonuses, signaling Inter's seriousness in the negotiation. This is a concrete step beyond earlier verbal interest and suggests both clubs are now in formal talks. The valuation reflects Jones' importance to Liverpool and Inter's willingness to invest significantly to secure the player's signature.
Chance analysis
Inter have escalated their pursuit of Jones from verbal interest to a formal written offer, which marks a meaningful shift in negotiation posture. The €30m plus €5m bonus structure indicates Inter have done their homework on Liverpool's likely asking price and are prepared to stretch financially. For Liverpool, the decision now is whether the fee represents fair value — a written offer of this size typically triggers formal club-to-club discussions and gives the selling side a clear negotiating anchor.
Liverpool could lose a key player if the offer is accepted, while Inter would strengthen their squad significantly with the addition.
