Liverpool have no intention of letting Curtis Jones leave this month, dealing a setback to Inter’s hopes of a midfield addition.
The talks have stalled as the Premier League side focus on managing their squad through an injury crisis.
According to Sportitalia, Liverpool are not prepared to part with Jones or any other regular first-team player during the winter window.
A series of injuries has left the squad stretched, making departures difficult to justify.
The club’s priority is stability rather than sales.
Inter had been linked with a move for Jones as Davide Frattesi approached a switch to Nottingham Forest.

Liverpool also want Jones to sign a contract extension, further reducing the chances of a January exit.
His current deal expires in 2027.
Therefore, the Reds are looking to secure his long-term future before considering any transfer scenarios.
For Inter, this stance complicates plans in midfield.
The Nerazzurri had been exploring the possibility of a loan deal.
However, Liverpool’s internal situation has effectively closed that path for now.
Unless circumstances change in the final days of the window, Jones appears set to remain at Anfield until at least the summer.
Therefore forcing Inter to reassess their options elsewhere.
