Inter Milan confirm transfer interest in Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones
Inter Milan sporting director Piero Ausilio has confirmed the Italian club’s interest in signing Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones during the upcoming summer transfer window.
The Serie A giants are looking to capitalise on a period of significant transition and upheaval at Anfield.
Liverpool are preparing to enter a new era following the appointment of Andoni Iraola as their head coach.
Major Anfield departures
Iraola will require significant backing in the transfer market, but the Merseyside club must balance the books after spending heavily last year.
The financial reality means several established players are expected to be sold to generate much-needed funds.
High-profile figures including Ibrahima Konate, Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson are already scheduled to depart on free transfers.
Funding a squad rebuild
Sacrificing a homegrown talent like the versatile midfielder could provide the necessary capital to properly reshape the squad.
The club’s hierarchy are reportedly targeting massive investments to support their newly appointed manager.
Rumoured targets to bolster the forward line include an unnamed £130m striker alongside highly-rated defender Ousmane Diomande.
Ausilio’s public declaration now paves the way for formal negotiations between the San Siro outfit and the Premier League side over the coming months.
