Curtis Jones Signals Inter Milan Interest With Social Media Activity as Transfer Talks Stall

Curtis Jones is quietly pushing for a move away from Liverpool, with the 25-year-old midfielder liking multiple posts on Inter Milan‘s Instagram account — a gesture Italian media is reading as a clear transfer signal.

Friday’s print edition of Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Inter are biding their time before submitting a second offer for the England midfielder. The move is currently in a ‘phase of study’, with the Nerazzurri fully aware that Liverpool’s asking price proved too high during the first round of negotiations two months ago, when an initial approach was rejected outright.

Inter’s ability to meet Liverpool’s valuation is directly tied to outgoing business. Once Davide Frattesi and Luis Henrique complete their exits, the club’s chances of signing Jones will ‘greatly increase’, according to the Italian outlet. A final agreement is expected to land somewhere between €30m and €35m, though Liverpool’s insistence on a sell-on clause remains an unresolved sticking point in the negotiation framework.

Jones’ current contract runs until the summer of 2027, which gives Liverpool a degree of leverage but also creates a window for Inter to apply pressure as the deal approaches its final phase.

Jones as a Frattesi Replacement — With Risks Attached

The transfer framing positions Jones as a direct replacement for Frattesi, who featured for fewer than 1,000 minutes across all competitions last season and was never central to Inter’s setup. That context matters. Jones could find himself in an identical situation — a capable midfielder who struggles to break into regular rotation at a club where midfield competition is fierce.

The smarter play may be to weigh options at clubs where first-team football and a core role in the project are guaranteed. Alternatively, staying at Liverpool and establishing himself under the current management remains a credible path if no move materializes before the window closes.
