Inter Milan manager Christian Chivu is 'absolutely crazy' liverpool Midfielder Curtis Jones, the Italian side are working hard to sign him.
gazzetta dello sport report Today on the 25-year-old and how he is the 'most likely candidate' for Inter at the moment.
inter milan keen
Inter are very keen to sign the 'brilliant Englishman', with Christian Chivu 'absolutely crazy' about the midfielder. He thinks that he is a 'perfect' player and there is no player like him in the team.
Inter Milan have been keen on the Liverpool midfielder for some time now. Everyone expected that a deal would be done in the January transfer window.
However, at the time it was felt that conditions were not 'ripe' as Liverpool had proved rigid in negotiations. Six months later, everything seems less complicated.
Curtis Jones now has a year left on his deal at Liverpool and Arne Slott is offering no guarantees of playing time next season.
Liverpool wants €30 million
As a result, he is ready to 'enthusiastically embrace' a new life in Italy and begin the Nerazzurri project. He is more interested in Inter than Galatasaray, who have also submitted an offer.
The biggest issue is Liverpool's asking price. They quoted Galatasaray €30m in recent talks. Inter currently value Jones at around €20m. So, there is a big difference between the two, but it is not 'insurmountable'.
The key to a quick solution may lie in the percentage of future sales offered. However, Inter need Liverpool to negotiate. The meeting of both the parties is fixed To begin negotiations next week.
The Reds are open to a deal, but do not intend to lower their standards too much, especially on an academy product. When it comes to the financial side of things it represents net profit. But there is a deal to be done and Inter certainly want to get it done.
