Inter have completed a £30m deal for Curtis Jones, with Liverpool taking 35m euros and keeping a 10% sell-on clause if he moves again. The 25-year-old midfielder has signed a contract until 2031, and the fee also includes 5m euros in add-ons.
Inter's side of the deal
The move fits Inter's current run. They have won four of their last five league and cup games, and they finished top of the 2025-26 Serie A season. That is the sort of backdrop that usually gives a signing more weight, even when the buying club is already well stocked.
The structure is the part Liverpool will care about most. BBC Sport reported that the club accepted 30m euros plus 5m euros in add-ons, while also holding on to 10% of any future sale. In plain terms, they have sold Jones now without giving up the chance of another payday later.
Why Liverpool agreed
Jones leaves after a season in which he made 49 appearances in all competitions, but only 18 Premier League starts under Arne Slot. He was involved often enough to matter, yet not locked in as a regular league starter, and that made a negotiation like this more realistic.
He also departs after 228 appearances for Liverpool, which tells you how long this had been building from the club's side. A player can be important without being untouchable, and Jones looked like that sort of case last season.
The sale gives Liverpool cash now, add-ons later and a cut of any future move. Inter get a midfielder through 2031, and Liverpool keep a reason to watch what happens next.
