Inter have held Jones as their priority signing since May, but are waiting on the sale of Davide Frattesi before they will put in a bid. The Italian giants feel they will be able to agree a deal with Liverpool for somewhere in the region of €35 million.

Inter were also reported to be ready to make a [bid](https://readliverpoolfc.com/transfers/inter-set-to-bid-for-liverpool-transfer-target-after-key-world-cup-role/) for England international Djed Spence, who had previously been offered to Liverpool and impressed at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

## Curtis Jones current contract situation

Jones has been at the club since a youth level and his current contract comes to an end at the end of the 2026/27 season. If Liverpool were not to sell and not able to agree a new contract, Jones would be the next in a line of several key players to leave the club without receiving a transfer fee.

Wilson Cox has reported that Jones is looking a £150,000 a week deal to sign a new contract at the club.

This would be the level of salary that a player who is in the starting lineup each week and as this is not Jones’ current place in the squad, Liverpool are not prepared to meet his demand currently.
