Inter set for new round of talks for Jones after Liverpool’s white lie against Como Multiple sources in Italy claim that Inter have scheduled a new round of talks for Curtis Jones this week after the Liverpool midfielder was dropped for a friendly against Como on Sunday. Inter are ready to continue talks with Liverpool over English midfielder Jones.

Jones was not involved in the two friendlies that Liverpool played against Como on Sunday, officially due to a hip problem. Sport Mediaset, however, notes that the explanation provided by the Liverpool medical staff was a ‘white lie’ given that the real reason for Jones’ omission was that the 25-year-old wants to play for Inter in 2026-27 and join his teammates John Stones and Djed Spence. According to Corriere dello Sport, Inter are ready to offer €30m plus add-ons, using a similar strategy to the one used to sign Spence from Tottenham. Spurs’ asking price for the English wing-back was close to €50m after the World Cup, but the North Londoners lowered their demands in August, allowing the Nerazzurri to sign the ex-Genoa man on their terms.
