Inter Transfer Market: A Problem Becomes a Clue to the Big Goal

Andoni Iraola is set to make his debut as Liverpool’s head coach at Anfield today at 3:30 p.m., but the Spanish coach will have to do without one of the most talked-about players on the transfer market: Curtis Jones. The English midfielder has long been on Inter’s radar, and the club continues to closely monitor his situation. At the moment, however, the Nerazzurri do not seem willing to invest the 40 million euros demanded by Liverpool for a player whose contract expires in 2027.

Inter has not, however, given up on the idea of lowering the English club’s asking price. In this context, Jones’s omission from the squad for the friendly against Monaco could be an interesting sign for the Nerazzurri.

Liverpool explained the midfielder’s absence, calling it “precautionary.” Jones is reportedly dealing with a hip issue, and Iraola reportedly preferred not to risk him in today’s match. Inter is closely monitoring the situation, waiting to see if there will be room to reopen negotiations under more favorable terms.
