Liverpool are close to confirming a major transfer. The Reds are making big alterations in the squad - with a winger or two hopefully arriving at anfield before the transfer deadline. The focus right now however is on outgoings. And the club are close to finalising a £30m deal which will see Curtis Jones join Italian champions Inter Milan. Jones edging closer to Inter deal News broke on Wednesday that the Nerazzurri had finally reached an agreement to sign the 25-year-old. Having held out since the start of the window for a £35m fee Richard Hughes relented and accepted an offer of around £30m inclusive of bonuses and add-ons . That might seem a little on the cheap side for a player of Jones’ quality - with six England caps to his name as well as two Premier League titles. But Liverpool have been under considerable pressure due to a short contract duration on Jones’ current deal. Fabrizio Romano confirms Curtis Jones medical He last agreed a renewal back in 2022 - taking him up to 2027 - and the homegrown schemer had entered the final 12 months of his contract. Liverpool had only one choice in the current window - accept Inter’s offer or else risk losing the No17 on a free next summer. Inter’s patience has paid off with Jones joining compatriots Djed Spence and John Stones at San Siro in the current transfer window after an accord was struck on Wednesday.
