Italian champions Inter Milan are reportedly preparing to renew their pursuit of Curtis Jones ahead of the summer transfer window.
The Serie A giants previously attempted to secure the 25-year-old midfielder on a loan in January, but the move was ultimately blocked by Arne Slot due to squad depth concerns.
However, the Nerazzurri are reportedly ready to resurrect their interest as they look to build on a successful campaign that yielded both the Serie A title and the Coppa Italia.
Jones is approaching the final 12 months of his contract at Anfield, and talks over an extension have reportedly stalled, fueling speculation that his boyhood club may cash in rather than risk losing him for free.
Reports from Italy indicate that the midfielder’s camp has sent positive signals to the Italian club regarding a potential move, with suggestions that a strained relationship with Slot has left Jones open to a fresh challenge abroad.
Despite being deployed across multiple positions this season, including a recent stint at right-back, the academy graduate is believed to favour a regular role in central midfield, something Inter could be willing to offer.
Any potential deal hinges on the transfer fee. Liverpool are understood to value the midfielder at around £35 million, a figure that could test the finances of the Milan club.
With Inter still weighing up alternative targets, including Roma midfielder Manu Kone, any potential negotiations may go on through the summer.
