**Curtis Jones’ Liverpool future seems uncertain, even if there remains a sense that he will get his wish to move to Inter Milan before the summer window closes.**
The Scouse midfielder has made it clear, either through his repeated liking of Inter-related posts on Instagram or repeated links to the Serie A club, that he wants to leave Liverpool.
Liverpool are reportedly unlikely to replace Jones if he leaves, which I have already said is a massive risk, but there seems to be a lot of risk-taking in the club’s transfer approach this summer anyhow.
Today, claims from Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/decisive-offer-on-way-to-sign-liverpool-player-entourage-building-transfer/), state that Jones is Inter Milan manager Cristian Chivu’s “ultimate transfer wish.” He has been told that Inter will make a “new, decisive offer” for Jones soon, which will hopefully bring this particular transfer saga to a close.
Liverpool have accepted that Jones will leave
---------------------------------------------
The Reds, for their part, are willing to let Jones leave and have accepted this.
They have totally abandoned hope that Jones will sign a new contract and that he wants to move to Italy as soon as possible after already agreeing personal terms.
Inter reportedly believe that an agreement can be struck with Liverpool for around €30m and €35m after fresh contact between the two clubs.
Once Inter sell Luis Henrique, they will present a formal offer to the Merseysiders.
Andoni Iraola already hinted at Jones future
--------------------------------------------
When asked about why Curtis Jones was excluded from Liverpool’s two friendlies against Como on Sunday, Andoni Iraola said that it was because of an injury, but this late into the transfer saga, that seems like the typical reason clubs trot out.
_“Curtis, he has trained every day but yesterday finished with issues in the hip,”_ Iraola said. _“It doesn’t look anything big but it didn’t make any sense to risk and those are the ones, more or less, closer to a return.”_
Liverpool not replacing Jones will be problematic at some point in the season, but the rise of Trey Nyoni to prominence is such that his absence may not be noticed as much as suggested.
