Liverpool FC NewsFeaturesTransfersLiverpool and Inter Milan are in talks over the possibility of Reds midfielder Curtis Jones moving to San SiroCurtis Jones of Liverpool(Image: 2026 Liverpool FC)Inter Milan is reportedly some way off matching Liverpool's asking price for Curtis Jones, but negotiations between the two clubs are ongoing.Inter was interested in signing Jones during the January transfer window and retains that interest ahead of the 2026-27 season.Jones has one year remaining on his contract at Liverpool and is keen to move to a club where he will play more regularly in his favored midfield position.It is suggested that Jones is Inter's No.1 target in the summer transfer window and that a deal is very much a possibility, despite the difference in the two clubs' valuations of him right now.Inter's starting point for a bid is said to be $23 million (£17 million) which is less than half of the $47 million (£35 million) that Liverpool hopes to receive for the player.It is suggested that Inter could use Denzel Dumfries as a makeweight in a deal to sign Jones.Liverpool continues to be linked with a move for Dumfries amid the injury issues that the club experienced at right-back this season.Dumfries' camp is actively pushing for the Netherlands international to move to Anfield, with the player said to strongly desire a move to the Premier League.Liverpool's two main right-backs this season, Conor Bradley and Jeremie Frimpong, have endured injury-ravaged campaigns, and signing Dumfries could be a shrewd move by the Reds.Dumfries would also add experience to Liverpool's squad in a summer that will see Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson and Ibrahima Konate leave the club.Denzel Dumfries of Inter(Image: 2026 Getty Images)Liverpool reportedly contacted Inter about the possibility of signing Dumfries in January after Bradley suffered a season-ending knee injury, but the Reds were informed that a mid-season deal would not be possible.It is said that there is a growing belief that Dumfries will end up at Liverpool, and his modest release clause is a big factor in that.If he is not included in a Jones swap deal, the 30-year-old will be available for just £20 million ($27 million) during the summer transfer window.The Reds' transfer policy means the club rarely signs players over 25 to long-term deals, and Dumfries is well beyond that, but the opportunistic nature of a potential deal could make sense for the Reds.Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Liverpool FCTransfersCurtis Jones
