Serie A giants Inter Milan are reportedly keen on signing 25-year-old English international Curtis Jones on loan from Liverpool in the final days of the winter transfer window.
According to an update by reputed Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Curtis Jones is the subject of interest from Inter Milan. The Serie A giants are keen on reinforcing their first-team squad by signing a versatile midfielder in the winter transfer window. So, the 25-year-old Liverpool homegrown player has emerged as a target for the Nerazzurri.
Inter Milan and Liverpool have been in “direct club-to-club talks” over a possible loan deal with a purchase option. The two clubs will continue discussions today, and they may strike an agreement soon. However, a move for the Englishman depends on Davide Frattesi departing from San Siro in the winter transfer window.
How has Curtis Jones fared since becoming a senior Liverpool player?
Curtis Jones has established himself as one of the most dependable midfielders in the Premier League since breaking into the first-team squad at Liverpool FC. A native of Liverpool, the 25-year-old spent his formative years in his homeland and graduated from the first-team squad at the Merseyside club.
While the English international has never been an undisputed first-choice starter for Liverpool, he has been impressive due to his ability to be a reliable performer. Jones has made over 200 appearances for Liverpool thus far while chipping in with 19 goals and 23 assists. Meanwhile, the player’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs, including Inter Milan.
What next?
Curtis Jones has been on Inter Milan’s radar for a long time. The continued interest makes sense, as they have been scouring the market for a versatile midfielder heading into the winter transfer window. Davide Frattesi faces an uncertain future at San Siro, and intermediaries have offered the Italian international to several high-profile clubs. So, a move away from Inter Milan is on the cards.
Several midfielders, including Martin Odegaard, have thus emerged on Inter Milan’s wishlist, with Jones also a viable target. The Serie A heavyweights have opened talks to sign the 25-year-old Englishman on loan from Liverpool in the final days of the winter transfer window.
Inter Milan and Liverpool have held “direct club-to-club talks” over a possible move for Jones, and they will continue further discussions today. While negotiations have progressed, a loan deal will only materialise if Frattesi departs from San Siro. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the versatile English midfielder.
