Inter Milan have confirmed the signing of Curtis Jones in a \u00a330m (\u20ac35m) deal from Liverpool.<\/p>\n
Liverpool are set to receive a fixed fee of \u00a325.7m plus \u00a34.28m in add-ons. Sky Sports News<\/em> understands a 10 per cent sell-on clause has been inserted in the deal.<\/p>\n Head coach Andoni Iraola said he wanted to keep Jones at Anfield but talked up 19-year-old Trey Nyoni’s chances of stepping up in his place this season.<\/p>\n Liverpool’s long-standing priority in this window has been reinforcing in wide areas. They have had two offers rejected by Brighton for Yankuba Minteh, the latest being worth \u00a360m<\/a>.<\/p>\n Liverpool have also been pursuing a move for Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola. He is valued by the European champions at \u00a3145m.<\/p>\n Cody Gakpo is a target for Spurs, but, as things stand, Liverpool do not want to sell him.<\/p>\n Jones had entered the final year of his contract at Liverpool and his move to Italy brings an end to his 16-year association with the Reds, having joined the club at the age of nine.<\/p>\n After making his Liverpool first-team debut in the 2018\/19 season, Jones appeared 228 times for the club, scoring 22 goals.<\/p>\n Jones is the third England international to move to Inter in this transfer window, after John Stones and Djed Spence also completed moves to join Cristian Chivu’s side.<\/p>\n During his time at Anfield, Jones won two Premier League titles, two Carabao Cups, the Club World Cup and the FA Cup – as well as finishing as a Champions League runner-up in 2022.<\/p>\n Sky Sports’ Rich Morgan:<\/em><\/p>\n Jones’ departure from Liverpool leaves Iraola with some interesting questions over the make-up of his midfield.<\/p>\n Jones made 49 appearances under previous head coach Arne Slot, 34 of which came in the club’s disastrous Premier League title defence, sharing the workload with Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch, while he was also often used as a makeshift right-back.<\/p>\n The new Reds boss, though, has indicated he will utilise Florian Wirtz in his preferred No 10 role going forward in a 4-2-3-1 formation, meaning Szoboszlai, Mac Allister and Gravenberch competing for two midfield spots in front of the back four.<\/p>\n The Basque will also be able to call upon Wataru Endo and Nyoni, who has really caught the eye in pre-season, and do not rule out the club reinvesting the \u00a330m Jones fee in a replacement.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
