Inter Milan reportedly still harbors hopes of signing Curtis Jones from Liverpool this summer, with the 25-year-old only tied down until 2027 at Anfield on his current contractLiverpool midfielder Curtis Jones is a target for Inter Milan(Image: Bill Barrett/ISI Photos via Getty Images)Curtis Jones has played a part in both of the Liverpool friendlies that have taken place under Andoni Iraola this summer, but Inter Milan has not yet given up hope of signing him.Having already seen a bid worth well below Liverpool's asking price turned down, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Inter could come back with another offer later in the summer window.Jones remains a priority for the Serie A giant, and with only one year left on his contract, Inter is hoping that Liverpool will relent on its demand of $47 million (£35 million), which it still considers excessive.Getting a replacement for Jones for that sum, however, would be very difficult for Liverpool, especially in the context of how the market has been shaping up so far.Comparable players like Mateus Fernandes, now of Spurs, have gone for more than double. Trey Nyoni has impressed during pre-season, but Jones and Dominik Szoboszlai are the only senior midfielders to have played so far this summer.Curtis Jones has been linked with a move away from Liverpool this summer(Image: Naomi Baker/Getty Images)Ryan Gravenberch could return this weekend, while Alexis Mac Allister is still on holiday, having reached the World Cup final with Argentina, where he was on the losing side against Spain."I will have the chance to speak with (Jones) today," Iraola said on day one of pre-season.

For me, he is a great, great player and I hope he can continue with us and continue performing the way he has been performing."It's very important that he's Scouse, that he's from here.
