The second of those bids is said to have left Liverpool irritated, with its Italian counterpart having fallen well under its $47 million (£35M) valuation with an offer of around $29 million (€25M).Inter’s interest had looked to have waned after that attempt, although there have been suggestions that it may be biding its time in the hope that the Reds will lower their price.And now The Athletic claims that it has renewed its pursuit, having contacted Liverpool via intermediaries who have indicated that Inter is willing to pay $40M (€35M) for Jones.That still falls under Liverpool’s valuation, and the club has insisted that it would rather lose Jones for free next year when his contract expires than sell him for less than what it feels he’s worth, referring to this summer’s inflated midfield market.Inter’s latest offer comes after Jones’ frustrations seemingly boiled over while on tour with the Reds in the US.
