According to The Guardian, the Nerazzurri club has intensified its efforts for Curtis Jones. The Italian champions are willing to raise their offer, bringing it up to 35 million euros for the Liverpool midfielder.

In June, an offer of 25 million was rejected by the Reds, who value the 25-year-old, a product of their youth academy, at around 40 million. The intermediaries representing Inter resumed contact this week, confirming their willingness to go up to 35 million for a player whose contract expires in a year.

The English newspaper points out that doubts remain about whether the Anfield club will accept such an amount, but the agreement for the departure of the English international from the club where he grew up seems increasingly plausible. Andoni Iraola, Liverpool’s new coach, had stated at the beginning of the season the importance of keeping Jones, but the determination of the Nerazzurri and the risk of losing him on a free transfer next summer could severely test this intention.
