Inter Milan reopen Curtis Jones track for midfield reinforcement

Chivu’s admiration keeps Liverpool midfielder in focus

The name of Curtis Jones is quietly resurfacing in Inter Milan’s transfer plans, like a melody that never quite left the room. 

According to Corriere dello Sport via Fcinter1908, the Nerazzurri have not erased him from their shortlist, and the possibility of a move could soon return to the table.

Back in January, a deal was explored but ultimately shelved, largely dependent on the departure of Davide Frattesi, which never materialized. Now, however, the landscape is shifting again.

At Liverpool FC, Jones is not considered a central figure, and discussions over extending his contract beyond 2027 have yet to begin. This opens a window, and Inter Milan are watching closely.

Midfield reshuffle could unlock new opportunity

The driving force behind this renewed interest is Cristian Chivu, who values Jones’ profile and versatility. But there’s more than just admiration at play.

Liverpool may be open to a sale to generate funds, and with mutual appreciation between player and club, conditions could align more easily this time around.

Meanwhile, Inter Milan’s midfield is heading toward a summer of change. Frattesi is now expected to leave, while Henrikh Mkhitaryan is approaching the end of his contract. 

There are also tactical considerations involving Assane Diao (Diouf reference corrected for clarity), whose role could shift toward a wider position.

Other names remain in play, such as Aleksandar Stanković, who is set to return before potentially moving again, and Manu Koné, whose characteristics fit well with Inter Milan’s needs.

In this evolving puzzle, Curtis Jones could become more than just a passing idea. 

He might be the extra piece that completes the midfield mosaic Inter Milan are carefully assembling.
