Jones remains Ausilio's top target for the midfield

The trail leading to Curtis Jones remains alive. The Liverpool midfielder, with only one year left on his contract, continues to occupy the top spot on the Nerazzurri’s wish list, a situation that has persisted since January. Ausilio has never given up on the idea and in recent days has re-established contact with the Reds to see if there is room to restart negotiations that have been on standby for several weeks.

According to what Fabrizio Romano revealed on his YouTube channel, Liverpool maintains a firm stance: the asking price is 40 million euros, with no willingness to negotiate downwards. The English club has made it clear that they will not proceed for less than that amount. Inter, for its part, is trying to find ways to lower the valuation, hoping to close the deal at around 32-35 million, but at the moment there is no green light from the Reds.

Jones, meanwhile, is said to have expressed his approval for the Nerazzurri destination. Some signs of discomfort after matches on the pitch and the player’s overall attitude suggest a desire to wear the Inter shirt. The Nerazzurri club continues to talk with the midfielder’s entourage, hoping that in the coming days or weeks a real opening may arise.

At the moment, however, the deal is not close to being unlocked. There is no imminent acceleration and the gap between supply and demand remains significant. Inter has been working on this front since January, but the road to closing the deal still seems long. With the end of the transfer window 30 days away, progress will be made day by day, evaluating every possible development.
