Liverpool reject Inter Milan’s second reported bid for midfielder Curtis Jones as the clubs fail to agree on a fee. Multiple outlets say Inter’s latest approach is valued at about €25m (reported as roughly £21m–£21.7m), but Liverpool indicate it is below their asking price and do not want to continue talks. The Athletic and other reports state Liverpool want closer to €40m (about £35m), with Jones having one year remaining on his contract at Anfield. BBC Sport and Yahoo Sports also report the rejection of a verbal offer of €25m/£21.7m. The Independent and Football Italia add that the gap between the two sides’ valuations remains the key issue, and talks stall after Liverpool make clear their valuation is significantly higher. The Telegraph is also cited as saying Liverpool move away from negotiations around a lower figure, consistent with the theme that Inter’s bids fall short. Overall, the reporting converges on Liverpool’s €40m target and Inter’s inability to reach it.
