Liverpool is reportedly becoming “increasingly frustrated” with Inter Milan’s persistent efforts to reduce the valuation of midfielder Curtis Jones. The Italian club has seen an offer of €25 million rejected by Liverpool.
Inter’s Attempts to Sign Jones Angers Liverpool, English Reports Claim
Inter Milan has openly expressed their desire to sign the English midfielder, Curtis Jones, for the 2026-27 season. However, they have so far been unsuccessful in persuading Liverpool to part with their academy product.
“Jones is a player we’ve been observing for a while. We attempted negotiations in January and will try again. If we find common ground, great. Otherwise, we’ll pursue other options,” stated Nerazzurri sporting director Piero Ausilio earlier this month.
The 25-year-old midfielder is entering the final year of his contract with Liverpool this summer. Inter sees this as an opportune moment to acquire a Premier League-proven midfielder at a price below market value.
However, Liverpool has rejected Inter’s latest offer of €25 million (£21 million) for Jones, according to various media reports over the weekend.
The Times in the UK reports that Liverpool’s senior management is growing “increasingly frustrated” with Inter’s attempts to lower the asking price for Jones. The Premier League club has made it clear that they are seeking approximately €40 million (£35 million) for Jones this summer, despite him entering the final year of his contract.

Inter’s Pursuit of Jones Upsetting Liverpool, English Reports Suggest
Inter has been open about their efforts to bring English midfielder Jones to the San Siro for the 2026-27 season but has so far been unable to convince Liverpool to sell their academy graduate.
“Jones is a player we’ve been watching for some time. We tried to negotiate in January, and we will try again. If we find common ground, great. Otherwise, we’ll do something else,” said Nerazzurri sporting director Piero Ausilio in an interview earlier this month.
The 25-year-old will be entering the final year of his Liverpool contract this summer, and Inter believes this presents an opportunity to secure a Premier League-proven midfielder at a below-market rate.
However, the club’s most recent bid of €25 million (£21 million) for Jones was turned down by Liverpool, according to reports from various outlets over the weekend.
According to The Times in the UK, Liverpool’s senior management team is becoming “increasingly frustrated” with Inter’s attempts to lower the asking price for Jones. The Premier League side has made it clear they want around €40 million (£35 million) for Jones this summer, despite him entering the final year of his contract.
