Liverpool rejects Inter Milan bid for Curtis Jones

Liverpool have rejected a fresh bid from Inter Milan for midfielder Curtis Jones, with a significant gap remaining between the clubs' valuations of the player. The Serie A champions' latest offer, reported to be between 21 million and 25 million euros, was turned down by the Premier League club, which values the 25-year-old at approximately 35 million to 40 million euros.

The negotiations have reached an impasse, with Liverpool reportedly frustrated by Inter's approach and unwilling to entertain further talks at the current figures. The English club is also seeking a sell-on clause as part of any deal. This marks at least the second formal bid Inter have made for Jones, following a rejected loan-with-obligation proposal during the January transfer window.

A key factor in the stalled talks is Jones's contract situation. The academy graduate has one year remaining on his current deal at Anfield and has not entered into new contract negotiations, increasing the risk Liverpool could lose him on a free transfer next summer.
