Game over as £30m midfielder edges closer to move away
Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones is reportedly nearing a £30 million move to Inter Milan, as his contract is set to expire next year and he has no intention of signing a new deal. Inter Milan is expected to submit a decisive bid this week, aiming for a cut-price deal below Liverpool's £35 million valuation, to secure coach Cristian Chivu's desired transfer.
Why it matters
This potential transfer signifies a significant shift for both clubs, impacting Liverpool's squad dynamics and Inter Milan's midfield strength. It also highlights the strategic and financial complexities of top-tier football transfers, especially concerning players nearing the end of their contracts.
Liverpool’s midfield is set for big changes before the summer transfer window closes. We could see fringe players like Stefan Bajcetic and Harvey Elliott moved on. Bajcetic - under contract until 2027 - is wanted in La Liga with Getafe the latest club linked.In a similar situation is Elliott - whose deal also expires next year. It doesn’t appear the 23-year-old has done enough ton convince Andoni Iraola in preseason. Don’t be surprised if a bid materialised before the window slams shut.The most pressing business Liverpool need to attend to however concerns Curtis Jones.
