Inter are expected to come back in for Liverpool’s Curtis Jones with a new proposal, with the Italian side understood to be ready to go beyond €35 million. As of Wednesday afternoon, Liverpool had not received a fresh offer, but movement is anticipated soon.

Talks to this point have largely taken place through intermediaries rather than direct club-to-club negotiations, and there remains a gap between the two sides’ valuations that would need to be bridged before any agreement could be reached. Details were first published by Ben Jacobs.

The indication that Inter are prepared to increase their outlay suggests they see room to test Liverpool’s stance, but the absence of a formal bid at this stage underlines that the situation is still fluid. A concrete offer would clarify how far apart the clubs are and whether the current distance on price can be narrowed.

For Liverpool, the next steps are straightforward: assess any proposal that does arrive against their valuation and squad plans, with the existing gulf highlighting that a compromise is not guaranteed. For Inter, translating their intent into a formal submission is the immediate hurdle, particularly if intermediary discussions have not yet yielded common ground.

Until an official bid lands, this remains a developing pursuit. The level of readiness to exceed €35m points to a serious attempt from the Serie A club, but whether that proves sufficient will depend on Liverpool’s response once a formal approach is made.
