Inter Milan Intensifies Pursuit of Curtis Jones Amid Frattesi Talks

Inter Milan are moving pieces on the board, and Curtis Jones sits right at the centre of their midfield plan.

Italian and European reports align on one key point: Inter’s interest in the Liverpool midfielder has not gone away. If anything, it’s sharpening. Fabrizio Romano reports that Lazio have approached Inter over a move for Davide Frattesi, a development that could free up both space and funds for a renewed push for Jones.

That potential outgoing is crucial. Inter need at least one midfield departure to properly attack Liverpool’s valuation, and Frattesi is the name drawing concrete attention. Lazio’s approach has given the Nerazzurri a possible route to accelerate their strategy.

Italian journalist Gianluigi Longari of TV Dello Sport underlines where Inter’s priorities lie. According to Longari, Jones remains Inter’s first-choice target for the midfield, and the club are preparing to go back to the table with Liverpool once they advance work on exits such as Frattesi.

The stance from the player’s side is clear as well. Jones has already given the green light to a move and wants the transfer, with personal approval no longer viewed as an obstacle.

Now the battle is financial and tactical. Inter must satisfy Liverpool’s demands and time their move around any sale of Frattesi and others. Liverpool, for their part, hold a homegrown midfielder under contract and are under no pressure to sell quickly.

Inter know the path. Move Frattesi, reload, and return to Liverpool with a stronger offer. The only question left is whether they can move fast enough to turn Jones’s “yes” into a Nerazzurri shirt.
