Inter Milan is gearing up to make another attempt to secure Curtis Jones, offering a package worth around €30 million plus bonuses in hopes of convincing Liverpool to sell the midfielder. The 25-year-old has been a target for the Serie A champions throughout the summer, but prior bids did not meet Liverpool's valuation.

Jones finds himself in a pivotal situation as he enters the final year of his contract at Anfield. This creates urgency for Liverpool to either negotiate a new deal or consider cashing in before the transfer window closes.

• Inter Milan plans to submit a fresh proposal this week.
• The club's pursuit gained momentum after Davide Frattesi moved closer to leaving San Siro, with Lazio reportedly agreeing to a loan deal for him.

Despite ongoing negotiations, a valuation gap has persisted between Liverpool and Inter. However, the fact that Jones has only one year remaining on his contract could influence talks significantly.

Liverpool faces a critical decision regarding Jones, who is an academy graduate and provides valuable versatility in midfield. Selling him for a modest fee could seem questionable, especially if manager Andoni Iraola needs depth for a demanding season ahead. Yet, allowing Jones to enter the final months of his contract without an extension poses a financial risk.

Inter's ongoing interest indicates Jones would play a meaningful role in Italy, especially with an opening in Cristian Chivu’s midfield. While a €30 million guaranteed fee may still not meet Liverpool's expectations, the inclusion of bonuses could bring the overall package closer to a compromise.

Ultimately, Liverpool must weigh the potential loss of a valuable academy product against the benefits of a timely sale.
