Curtis Jones agrees to join Inter Milan after formal transfer bid
Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones has agreed to join Inter Milan after the Italian champions submitted a formal bid for the 25-year-old.
The England international is entering the final 12 months of his contract at Anfield next month.
With renewal talks having stalled, the academy graduate has committed his future to the Serie A giants.
Inter recently returned with an offer worth approximately £21m after seeing a previous approach rejected in January.
Liverpool hold out for higher valuation
The Merseyside club are reportedly holding out for a fee closer to £25m for the central midfielder.
Discussions remain ongoing between the two clubs, with an agreement expected before the start of the new campaign.
The former youth prospect has rejected rival interest from Premier League side Aston Villa in favour of a fresh challenge abroad.
His impending departure adds to a summer of significant transition under new manager Andoni Iraola.
Exodus continues at Anfield
The Reds are eager to avoid losing another senior player on a free transfer next year.
Key figures including Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah, Ibrahima Konate and Andy Robertson have all departed at the end of their deals over the last 12 months.
Uncertainty also surrounds the futures of several other squad members, including goalkeeper Alisson, forward Cody Gakpo and winger Federico Chiesa.
Iraola is now prioritising midfield reinforcements to compensate for the expected loss of the dynamic playmaker.
Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott has emerged as a primary target to rebuild the centre of the pitch.
