Inter Milan are preparing a renewed attempt to sign Curtis Jones, with Liverpool expected to face another significant call before the transfer window closes.This news has hardly come out of the blue. It has felt inevitable that Curtis Jones will leave Liverpool pretty much all summer, but this feeling has only been ramped up in the last week or so, with a move now seemingly close.

However, since Andoni Iraola's team have returned to Merseyside, the England international has been nowhere to be seen. As reported by Italian journalist Nicolò Schira, Jones has reached an "agreement in principle" with Internazionale Milano, adding that the Serie A champions "are now ready to submit a new bid" as they attempt to sign the midfield.

Nevertheless, given the fee Jones would cost, the plan is surely for him to immediately be first-choice at San Siro. — Emirates FA Cup (@EmiratesFACup) January 5, 2021To fuel the speculation further, eagle eyed online Liverpool fans noticed that Jones has started following Inter centre-back Alessandro Bastoni on Instagram, with the Italian following him back. While Jones is not in Iraola's plans, and never truly been a first-choice player, it is never nice for fans to see one of their own sold, but that is about to become the reality.
