**Fabrizio Romano has provided the latest on Curtis Jones’ Liverpool future, with Inter Milan continuing their pursuit of him in the summer transfer window.**
The saga regarding Jones feels like it has gone on forever, with endless rumours suggesting he will leave the Reds for Inter before the new season gets underway.
Former scout [Mick Brown](https://live4liverpool.com/inter-milan-willing-to-sell-davide-frattesi-to-sign-curtis-jones-from-liverpool/) has been one of many to weigh in on the situation, saying: “_It’s become quite clear not that Curtis Jones is keen to leave Liverpool. He is not happy with his role at the club, his playing time, the position he’s been asked to play in across the last couple of seasons, or where he ranks in the pecking order.”_
Now, Romano has taken to [_X_](https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/2087425852673782092?s=20) to give a new update, saying another attempt from Inter is imminent in the coming days, as they look to get a £29.8m deal over the line this summer:
_“Inter mantain Curtis Jones as priority target since May and now feel deal could happen with Liverpool at €35m fee. There’s still no green light to new bid until Davide Frattesi’s exit but Inter definitely will try again for Curtis before the window ends.”_
**Is Curtis Jones’ mind made up at Liverpool?**
-----------------------------------------------
It is easy to overthink and read too much into Jones’ body language, he doesn’t appear to have been particularly engaged in pre-season, allowing Dominic Calvert-Lewin to score too easily in the 4-2 defeat to Leeds United, for example.
The 25-year-old certainly isn’t coming out publicly and saying he is happy at Liverpool, which suggests that he is more than thinking about a new challenge.
Ultimately, if Jones’ isn’t content with the situation, once again not being promised regular starts under another manager, he needs to move on and test himself at Inter.
That would be a huge shame for Liverpool, weakening their squad depth and losing a player about to potentially come into his prime, not to mention being a homegrown player.
There could yet be a twist, and Andoni Iraola could persuade Jones to stay, but as things stand, it feels increasingly as though the writing is on the wall.
