Inter are emerging as the strongest contender for Curtis Jones, with reports saying Liverpool have set a €40 million asking price and are open to selling if the numbers are right. TEAMtalk also cite £34.5 million. The same reporting says there are no negotiations over a new deal and Jones is reassessing his position, which is why this has moved beyond routine speculation.

Why Inter are being taken seriously

The clearest line from the reporting is simple enough: Inter are the club most interested in Jones and have accelerated talks over a possible transfer. That does not mean a deal is done, and the brief is careful on that point. It does mean the Italian club are not being treated as a side issue or a background bidder.

Liverpool, meanwhile, are not treating Jones like someone they have to keep at all costs. A reported €40 million price tag tells you where the club sees him in the squad hierarchy, even if he remains a useful player. He made 34 Premier League appearances in 2025, and his league output was 1 goal and 2 assists, so this is not a case of Liverpool pushing out an unused fringe option.

The contract detail is where the story gets a little messy. Some sources frame him as entering the final year of his deal, while another references June 2027 as the end point. What is consistent is the lack of progress on a new agreement, and that is enough to keep the exit talk alive.

Why a sale would still make sense for Liverpool

This would not be a footballing verdict on Jones alone. He has been available often enough to matter and reliable enough to attract interest. But if Liverpool are looking at squad value, contract timing and their own summer plans, he becomes a sellable asset rather than a player they are building around.

Arne Slot's comments on the wider squad help explain the mood around Anfield. Speaking about summer planning, he said: "One of the reasons why everyone is talking about wingers is because Mo is leaving. It makes complete sense to think about at least one." That is a reminder that Liverpool are not thinking about one name in isolation. Mohamed Salah's departure points to a broader reshaping, and Jones sits inside that conversation rather than outside it.

The sensible read is that Liverpool will listen if Inter get close to the reported valuation. If they do not, the move probably cools. But with no new deal agreed and the asking price already out in the open, Jones looks far more likely to be discussed as a summer sale than as a player whose future is settled.

If the reports hold, Inter will keep pressing and Liverpool will decide whether €40 million is enough to move on.
