Liverpool midfielder closes in on Inter Milan move

Liverpool discussed a deal back in January with Tottenham and Inter Milan both reportedly keen on the two-time Premier League winner.

Jones ultimately stayed put as club bosses were not prepared to sanction a mid-season departure. But all that is set to change at the end of the season however.

Curtis Jones intrigued by Inter Milan move

TEAMtalk is reporting that Inter remain in the picture for Jones - and the Italian champions are emerging as an attractive destination for the Scouse playmaker.

“A move to Italy with Inter Milan is emerging as a particularly attractive option for the Liverpool midfielder,” the report reads.

“Inter remain firmly in the picture and are continuing to monitor Jones closely, with the Italian champions offering a new challenge that is believed to appeal to the player should he leave England.”

Jones is also on the shopping list for both Aston Villa and Newcastle as claimed in the report.

His departure would leave the first-team squad without a single local player in the ranks. That is a lamentable fact and it would be a crying shame if no resolution is found over Jones’ contract crisis.

He will of course want more first-team football than he has been getting and Liverpool under Arne Slot just doesn’t seem like the ideal setting to get it.
