Inter Milan will gather their views this weekend before making further attempts to sign Curtis Jones liverpool.
Corriere dello sport report After disappointment over the failure to sign Nico Paz, the Italian champions will turn their attention to other signings.
More Liverpool talks coming
The newspaper reports that there is currently no shortage of names on sporting director Piero Ausilio's desk. Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones is at the top. The 25-year-old is a top target to improve their midfield this summer.
Inter took their first steps a week ago, but efforts have since been temporarily sidelined. Liverpool are not making this deal easy. Inter have offered €25 million for the midfielder but the Reds have, 'without blinking', decided to leave it on the table.
It is the second offer from Inter that they have rejected, following a €20m bid a few weeks ago. Liverpool have made no move to approach the Italian champions. Nor are they showing any willingness to accommodate Jones' desire to join Inter immediately.
€35 million asking price too high
They want £40 million – up to €35 million – and there have also been talks regarding a percentage of any future resale. In short, Their demands are 'extremely high' And that's a far cry from what Inter are currently offering.
The fact that Jones' current deal expires in 2027 doesn't worry him. It's certainly not causing any panic. Corriere says all indications are that they can afford it and there is no need to raise money at any cost.
Inter need to find a way to talk to the people in charge at Anfield. At the moment, they are offering the Italian giants nothing but silence and apparent indifference.
It remains to be seen whether the trend changes as warming progresses further. It looks like Inter will take the weekend to decide their next move.
