Curtis Jones remains in the Nerazzurri's sights, but midfield departures are needed

Inter continues to work on several transfer fronts. In addition to the right winger, the Nerazzurri management’s priority, Chivu is pushing for a reinforcement in midfield that can raise the level of the squad.

Curtis Jones remains the preferred choice for the midfield. The absence of the midfielder in Liverpool‘s friendly against Monaco did not go unnoticed. Iraola explained the absence as due to a hip problem, an issue the player had been dealing with since Saturday. However, Reds fans interpreted the exclusion as a possible prelude to a transfer.

The Nerazzurri club is monitoring the situation closely. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Jones represents the ideal profile in terms of characteristics and versatility: young but already ready, with European experience and seven trophies won in his career. His contract expires in 2027, but Liverpool does not seem inclined either to renew it or to revise their financial demands. The valuation remains set at 40 million euros.

The friendly against Monaco confirmed that the Reds can do without the midfielder. However, the deal presents obstacles for the Nerazzurri: midfield is the most crowded department of the squad and before making a move, sales are needed. Stankovic is in the shop window, while Frattesi and Asllani are considered surplus. The sports daily emphasizes how the market can move quickly, even with sudden big offers.
