Inter close on £30m Curtis Jones deal as Liverpool exit looms

Inter Milan are closing in on a deal worth €35m (£30m) for Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones, according to the BBC. The Italian champions have submitted an offer of €30m rising to €35m, with the 25-year-old expected to leave his boyhood club after a 16-year association, the Guardian reported.

Jones, a homegrown product of Liverpool's academy, is in the final year of his contract at Anfield. The Guardian described him as a 'longstanding target' for the Serie A side, who are looking to strengthen their midfield as they defend their Italian title.

The move would mark a significant transfer for Inter, who have identified the England international as a key addition. The deal, if completed, would see Jones become one of the more high-profile English players to move to Serie A in recent seasons.
