Inter Milan continues to pursue Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones despite previous unsuccessful attempts to secure his transfer. The Italian club made an approach for Jones in January and submitted a £21 million offer earlier this summer, which Liverpool rejected. The Premier League club is reportedly seeking closer to £35 million for the 25-year-old midfielder, who has one year remaining on his contract at Anfield.

Inter Milan is reportedly willing to increase their offer to nearly £30 million to sign Jones. Liverpool appears to be weighing its options, with some officials reportedly preferring to retain him until his contract expires next summer rather than accept a fee below their valuation.

Jones was involved in an on-field disagreement with teammates during Liverpool’s 1-0 victory over Wrexham in a recent friendly in New York. The incident reportedly centered around the captain’s armband. Footage showed a tense exchange involving Jones, Kostas Tsimikas, and Dominik Szoboszlai. Jones appeared frustrated with Szoboszlai’s attempts to calm him, while Tsimikas reacted by throwing the captain’s armband on the ground. The situation later deescalated after Jones picked up the armband and embraced Szoboszlai, who then confronted Tsimikas.

The bust-up has drawn attention amid speculation that Jones’s future at Liverpool remains uncertain, with the ongoing transfer interest from Inter Milan adding to the broader narrative around his role in the squad moving forward. Liverpool’s management has yet to publicly comment on the transfer situation or the internal team dynamics highlighted during the friendly match.
