Curtis Jones remains a major transfer talking point this summer. Liverpool have plenty of transfer news to track right now, with Inter Milan preparing a third bid after two rejections. Nottingham Forest are also circling as a serious alternative for the midfielder.
Curtis Jones price tag remains a sticking point for Inter Milan
As reported by CaughtOffside, Inter Milan are preparing a new offer for Curtis Jones. The **Reds**already knocked back their first move, worth close to €25 million, and they have not shifted their stance all summer. The club wants at least €40 million before it will even discuss a sale.
Journalist Ben Jacobs says new talks are already happening behind the scenes. This comes even though talks had appeared to stall earlier in the window. Inter clearly have not given up on their target. That says a lot about how highly they rate him, as he has quietly become one of the steadier performers in English football.
Part of Inter’s leverage comes from the contract clock. As reported by TEAMtalk, Curtis Jones has just one year left on his deal at Anfield, and clubs often use that timing to push prices down. Inter seem to be hoping the same pressure works in their favor here too.
Liverpool signed him through their academy system. Fans on Merseyside have watched him grow for years. That makes any exit feel bigger than a simple business deal.
Curtis Jones is also drawing interest from Nottingham Forest
Inter Milan are not the only club in the race. Nottingham Forest have also made contact, with a bid worth £35 million to £40 million said to be in the works. That number would clear the price Liverpool have set all summer.
Curtis Jones for Liverpool in 2025/26, as per FOTMOB:
Competitions Matches Starts Goals Assists Chances Created
Premier League 34 18 1 2 21
FA Cup 4 4 2 1 6
EFL Cup 1 1 0 0 0
UCL 9 4 0 0 2
A deal like this fits Forest’s plan to build a stronger midfield group. Signing a proven Premier League player would show real ambition from the club, and for a side on the rise, picking experience over risk makes good sense.
Curtis Jones is reportedly looking for a club that offers steady game time. He has not always been a fixed starter in recent seasons at Anfield. For a player raised through the academy, that choice will not be easy. It could still be the deciding factor in which bid gets accepted.
What happens next in this transfer saga
As reported by TEAMtalk, talks between the two clubs go back to January. Inter Milan have already seen a couple of offers turned down. That level of persistence shows real interest from their recruitment staff.
Still, there is no sign of a breakthrough just yet. Curtis Jones has publicly brushed off talk that an exit to Forest has already been agreed. He showed doubt when the claim spread on social media. Unless a club meets the asking price soon, this story could run well into the final weeks of the window.
Either way, Inter must decide how far they are willing to go. Forest are waiting patiently in the background. Meanwhile, the player himself is left to weigh up where his future truly lies.
Curtis Jones is due back at the club’s training ground this week for the new season. He remains part of the group under new head coach Andoni Iraola for now. Preseason preparations continue regardless of how the transfer talk develops in the background.
