SportFootballCurtis JonesCurtis Jones is entering the final year of his Liverpool contract and has been linked with a move to Inter Milan in the summer transfer windowInter Milan are continuing to monitor Curtis Jones amid the midfielder's uncertain Liverpool future.Jones is entering the final year of his Reds contract, and was linked with moves to both Inter and Tottenham Hotspur in the January transfer window.The England international played more minutes than he has ever managed before in a Reds season in the 2025/26 campaign, but he struggled to nail down a place in Arne Slot's starting XI and was frequently used at right-back by the Dutchman before his sacking last weekend.Incoming boss Andoni Iraola is being tipped to be active in the transfer market, and Reds forward Federico Chiesa has revealed that Jones has been asking him about life in Italy.Inter sporting director Piero Ausilio discussed the club's summer plans with reporters on Sunday, and said: “Curtis Jones, we are paying attention to him. We understand what the developments will be.”Academy product Jones, who scored the final goal of Slot's tenure in Liverpool's 1-1 draw with Brentford on the final day of the season, has made 228 appearances for the Reds, scoring 22 goals.He has two Premier League winners' medals as well as an FA Cup and two League Cups, but he has never been able to consistently hold down a place in his preferred midfield role due to injuries and both Slot and Jurgen Klopp's preference for other options.Jones did break into the England squad in late 2024 under interim boss Lee Carsley, but after scoring against Greece on his debut he has fallen out of favour under Thomas Tuchel and hasn't added to his six caps for the past 12 months.Italy international Chiesa, who is being tipped to return to Serie A this summer, let slip that Jones has been asking him about his homeland in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport, hinting that he could move.“Jones only asked me how life is in Italy,” Chiesa said.“I told him you live very well and the weather is better than Liverpool.
Jones is technically very strong, Inter are right to think about him. As for Alisson, from what I hear he stays in England, but we will see.
He is one of the best five goalkeepers in the world.”FOLLOW OUR LIVERPOOL FC FACEBOOK PAGE!
