Inter Primed to Try Again to Lure Liverpool Midfielder
Curtis Jones was a surprise late January target for Inter, but the deal didn’t come together. He has been playing regularly as of late, starting in five of the last seven matches, thanks to his versatility and some absences.
According to Fabrizio Romano (via Tribuna), the midfielder isn’t any closer to prolonging his contract, which expires in 2027. His future will hang in the balance until that happens.
