The Anfield club is nearing the departure of an established squad member, following a mutual agreement on personal terms for his upcoming transfer.
Following an expenditure exceeding £400 million in the previous campaign, the Merseyside outfit has experienced a more subdued transfer window, securing prospects such as Jeremy Jacquet and Victor Munoz to bolster the squad inherited by new manager Andoni Iraola.
As a result of their fifth-place finish last term and the dismissal of Arne Slot, the squad’s restructuring is actively progressing—meaning another beloved player could soon be on his way out.
Curtis Jones seeks Anfield exit to join Inter Milan
Though the Reds are prioritizing the signatures of Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye ahead of the deadline, they have also witnessed high-profile departures like Andrew Robertson and Mohamed Salah, marking the start of a fresh chapter.
According to reports from Sport Witness, Curtis Jones—who found playing time hard to come by under Arne Slot last year—is actively trying to secure a switch to Inter Milan, having already settled on personal terms with the Serie A titleholders.
Having debuted for his boyhood club in 2018, the local midfielder famously made his mark with an incredible winning goal in a Merseyside derby FA Cup tie in January 2020, eventually becoming a reliable option under Jurgen Klopp.
Even though Jones made 49 appearances overall last season, he was named in the starting lineup for only half of the league games he was selected for, as Slot preferred Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch to operate behind summer arrival Florian Wirtz.
Sources at FourFourTwo believe that Jones was on the verge of departing during the winter window, and recent updates confirm that his aspiration to play in Italy remains strong.
Middlemen are reportedly facilitating discussions, with growing optimism that the Premier League club will lower their asking price to under €40 million.
According to Sport Witness, citing Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport, the English player is regarded as the “primary target” for Inter manager Cristian Chivu.
Expectations of a successful transfer are rising, with the update suggesting that the Italian club intends to launch a late bid to secure his signature.
Having already acquired John Stones and Djed Spence from English football during this window, Inter are aiming to make it three Premier League recruits as they prepare to defend their domestic league title.
The midfielder is valued at €35 million by Transfermarkt. Meanwhile, the Reds are scheduled to kick off their new league campaign against Newcastle United.
