Inter Milan is pursuing Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones, according to multiple reports, though a 10 million euro valuation gap currently stalls the move. Reports indicate Jones has expressed interest in moving to Italy, having already inquired with Inter player Federico Chiesa about the league.
- Target: Curtis Jones (Liverpool)
- Interested Club: Inter Milan
- Financial Gap: 10 million euro difference in valuations
- Key Contact: Federico Chiesa
- Primary Risk: Liverpool’s potential failure to secure Champions League qualification
What is stalling the transfer to Inter Milan?
Negotiations between the two clubs have become complicated due to a disagreement over the player’s price. According to reports from Goal.com, there is a 10 million euro difference between the offer and the asking price. This financial friction is mirrored in reports from Vietnam.vn, which describes a dilemma for Liverpool regarding a 25 million pound valuation.
The complexity of the deal is further heightened by Liverpool’s current competitive standing. According to Vietnam.vn, the club faces the risk of failing to secure a ticket to the Champions League, a factor that could influence their willingness to let a squad player depart.
How did Federico Chiesa enter the negotiations?
The interest from the player’s side became public through Federico Chiesa. According to reports from tandaseru.id and detiksport, Chiesa revealed that Jones has been asking questions about the Italian league and the environment at Inter Milan.
This direct communication suggests Jones is actively considering a move to Serie A. According to detiksport, these inquiries to Chiesa serve as a primary indicator that the midfielder is open to leaving Anfield for the San Siro.
Why is Liverpool hesitant to sell?
Liverpool is managing multiple squad pressures that make the sale of Jones a risky move. Beyond the Champions League qualification concerns, reports from Akurat Jateng suggest that the club is already dealing with the potential departure of Mo Salah.
The prospect of losing both a key veteran like Salah and a homegrown midfielder like Jones has made the negotiation process more rigid. According to Akurat Jateng, Jones could become the “next victim” of a squad clear-out, but only if the financial terms meet the club’s internal requirements.
