Liverpool’s £35m price tag puts Inter Milan’s patience to the test

Liverpool have placed a £35 million (£40 million euro) price tag on 25‑year‑old midfielder Curtis Jones, a valuation that now dictates the club’s summer strategy as Inter Milan intensify their pursuit. The English side signals it could be the final chance to cash in before his contract expires in 2027. The £35 million valuation now anchors Liverpool’s summer transfer plan. The Reds’ board must weigh the midfielder’s on‑field value against the potential cash injection. Liverpool’s board faces a binary choice: retain the homegrown talent or sell before his 2027 contract runs out. The decision will shape the club’s financial and sporting outlook for the next season. Inter Milan have been sniffing around Jones for a couple of transfer windows. They even attempted to sign the 25‑year‑old back in January, but Richard Hughes turned down the bid.

The Nerazzurri have kept testing Hughes’ patience all summer, keeping the midfielder in the headlines. Their sustained interest underscores the Italian club’s belief in Jones’s potential. The Premier League champions need to either secure Curtis Jones or cash in, according to the latest reports. Liverpool view the upcoming window as the last realistic opportunity to reap a financial return before his contract expires. Jones is out of contract in 2027 and there is no sign of a new deal on the horizon. This leaves Liverpool with a final chance this summer to monetize their homegrown talent. Liverpool are asking around £35 million (€40 million) for Jones, a price the club deems reasonable for his quality. Inter’s offers to date have been described as derisory, with a rumored £27 million (€32 million) bid dismissed as insufficient. Fabrizio Romano said, “Liverpool are starting from €40 million. That’s the figure… Liverpool are not interested.” Andoni Iraola, Liverpool’s new head coach, stated in his first press conference, “I want to keep Curtis Jones here. He’s an important player, he knows Liverpool, he comes from here – I want him in our project.” As of today, no new offers from Inter have materialised, and the deal is described as difficult and uphill, leaving the midfielder’s future in balance.
