A Liverpool decision has reportedly both stalled Curtis Jones’ transfer plans and Nottingham Forest’s designs on a move to sign Davide Frattesi. Report claims Liverpool U-turn blocked Jones from making loan move to Inter and Frattesi’s move to Forest According to a report from Italian outlet Sport Mediaset, Liverpool made a loan proposal to Inter Milan which would have allowed Jones to make a temporary move to Serie A and solve Inter’s midfield problems.

However, Liverpool reportedly reversed their decision, which not only blocked Jones and Inter from achieving their respective desires but it has also blocked Nottingham Forest from completing their own transfer. Forest reportedly need Jones to move to Inter to sign Davide Frattesi this summer.

An agreement with Jones had reportedly been reached but Liverpool reversed their own loan proposal over concerns of a thinning squad and issues surrounding Jones’ contract, expiring in 2027. Liverpool’s transfer business this summer has been something of a mess.
