Liverpool FC NewsTransfer NewsTransfersThe latest Liverpool transfer news as Ayyoub Bouaddi's asking price is revealed, and current star Curtis Jones is dealt a blow amid his apparent desire to join Inter MilanAyyoub Bouaddi is being linked with Liverpool(Image: Getty Images)Ayyoub Bouaddi is one of the main names linked with a move to Liverpool this summer after emerging as one of the most promising young midfielders in Europe.Liverpool is expected to revamp its midfield during the transfer window, amid suggestions that Alexis Mac Allister and Curtis Jones could be moved on. Give Me Sport reports that there is plenty of interest in Bouaddi from clubs in the Premier League, including Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool, while European giants like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are also among the teenager's admirers.Lille is said to want to keep hold of him for at least another year, and it is suggested that an offer in excess of €100 million ($114 million) would be required to tempt the Ligue 1 club to let him go this summer.Bouaddi has impressed for Morocco during the World Cup, strengthening Lille's negotiating position and likely enabling the French outfit to command a higher fee.If Lille is unable to keep hold of Bouaddi for another year, the club hopes to be able to keep him on loan for next season.Curtis Jones updateMeanwhile, Liverpool's hopes of offloading Curtis Jones may have taken a hit after it emerged that Inter Milan is set to prioritize another player instead.Inter has been reluctant to meet Liverpool's asking price for Jones, and Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport says that the Serie A side is prepared to turn its attention elsewhere.The suggestion is that Roma’s Niccolo Pisilli could be signed instead.Curtis Jones may not get a move to Inter(Image: Getty Images)Pisilli is valued at €25 million ($29 million) by Roma, which is what Inter is willing to pay for Jones, while Jones is valued at €40 million ($46 million) by Liverpool.Jones would also command a higher salary than Pisilli.The news will likely come as a blow to Jones, who is said to have been keen on a move to Inter.Liverpool teammate Federico Chiesa revealed in an interview earlier this month that Jones had asked him about what life is like in Italy.“Jones just asked me what life is like in Italy,” Chiesa said.
“I told him it’s great and the weather is better than Liverpool, which, aside from that, is a special place.“Jones is really strong technically. Inter are right to think about him.”Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.TransfersLiverpool FC
