Liverpool won’t have to think too hard if Inter Milan make the approach for Curtis Jones many are expecting. Should Arne Slot drop Mohamed Salah from the squad to face Brentford? 👀 A sour end could be in store… Photo by Michael Regan/Getty Images Curtis Jones to Inter Milan for £35m is irresistible businessA report from The Times has Jones valued at around £35 million, a similar fee to what was being discussed in January when Inter Milan were exploring a loan-to-buy move.

Jones has just one year left on his deal, and that naturally changes the conversation.But if they do get close to asking price, it would surely become very difficult for Liverpool to say no.There may even be room for a deal that works for both sides. Liverpool have looked at Denzel Dumfries, who has a £22 million release clause, so there could be a wider conversation to be had if Inter are serious about Jones.Photo by Image Photo Agency/Getty ImagesFor Liverpool, the logic is obvious.

Jones is no longer a youngster waiting for his breakthrough, he is a 25-year-old squad player who has still not nailed down a starting place.That does not make him a bad footballer. If £35 million for Jones can be put towards a player of a higher class, or one more suited to the rebuild, it represents very good business.It is not as though he seems desperate to stay at all costs, either.Jones’ support for Mohamed Salah in recent days felt like another sign that he is growing impatient with life at Anfield.
