Key Takeaways
- Inter Milan will make another attempt to sign Curtis Jones from Liverpool this summer
- The Nerazzurri wanted the midfielder in January as a replacement for Davide Frattesi
- The 23-year-old has reportedly given the green light for a move to the San Siro
Inter Milan are preparing a fresh bid to sign Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones. The Serie A club failed to capture the player during the January transfer window.
The Nerazzurri identified Jones as the ideal candidate to replace Davide Frattesi. At that time, Frattesi appeared set for a switch to Nottingham Forest. Inter proposed a loan deal with an option to buy for approximately €40 million at the end of the campaign.
However, the deal collapsed because Liverpool refused to sanction the move without a contract extension at Anfield. The parties could not reach an agreement in time.
Now, reports from Sportitalia indicate that Jones has approved a transfer to the San Siro. The two clubs must still negotiate the final terms of the deal.
Frattesi continues to seek an exit from Inter. He has found regular playing time hard to come by under new manager Cristian Chivu. This follows similar struggles he experienced with former coach Simone Inzaghi.
Jones is a product of the Liverpool youth system and has spent his entire professional career with the Reds. This season, he has netted twice and provided three assists in 45 appearances across all competitions.
