Inter Milan Agrees to $40M Deal for Liverpool's Curtis Jones
Frustrated by limited game time, Curtis Jones's potential £30m move to Inter Milan gains momentum after Davide Frattesi's transfer to Lazio.
Inter Milan are nearing a £30m deal for Curtis Jones after discussions gathered pace on Wednesday, with the Liverpool midfielder hoping to secure a move away from Anfield.
Jones has reportedly grown frustrated by limited first-team opportunities, starting just 16 of his 34 Premier League appearances under Arne Slot last season. Inter had previously tabled a £21m offer rejected in June.
The Academy graduate has made 228 appearances for Liverpool since joining at under-nine level. Inter resumed talks after selling Davide Frattesi to Lazio, enabling financial flexibility for the midfielder's acquisition.
A potential departure would likely increase playing time for midfielder Trey Nyoni after an impressive pre-season. Jones hopes the move to Italy can help revive his international career with England.
Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola called Jones a "great, great player" and expressed hope to keep him before Sunday's Premier League campaign opener at Newcastle. The deal remains unsigned despite negotiations advancing.
Question of hours: Curtis Jones, midfielder of Liverpool and the British national team, is about to become a Nerazzurri player. He, class 2001, wanted Inter and eventually the wedding will take place. (ANSA)
