From the moment the 2025-26 season ended, there has been a steady buzz of speculation around Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones, with the club trained Scouser heading into the final year of his contract and resistant to signing a new deal.
The expected destination, were a transfer to be agreed, was always meant to be Inter Milan in Serie A, with Jones seeking a new challenge and a more key first team role after seeming to have hit his ceiling as fourth choice for three midfield places at Liverpool.
Today, it appears that move has been agreed, with word out of Italy claiming a fee of around €35M (£30M) including add-ons has been agreed between Inter and Liverpool. With personal terms already sorted, confirmation is expected shortly.
Since making his senior debut in the 2018-19 season, Jones has gone on to appear 228 times for his boyhood club but has never been seen as a first choice option in midfield and gotten a number of his starts filling in at right back or on the wing.
Despite that his departure likely won’t impact the Reds’ starting eleven on opening day, it does leave a significant hole in midfield from a depth point of view and if Jones’ sale doesn’t lead to a positional signing the club will face major criticism for agreeing it.
