Curtis Jones nears £30m Liverpool exit to Inter Milan, with a Newcastle move holding up the deal

Highlights

  • Curtis Jones, 25, is edging closer to a £30m (€35m) move from Liverpool to Inter Milan, according to Fabrizio Romano.
  • Inter can't move for Jones until they sell midfielder Davide Frattesi, with Newcastle the most-reported (but not yet confirmed) destination.
  • Liverpool had been holding out for €40m most of the window; Romano says they've now "slightly lowered" that request to get the deal moving.

Curtis Jones looks set to leave Liverpool this summer, with Inter Milan closing in on a £30 million deal for the midfielder. According to Fabrizio Romano, Inter have made Jones their priority target since May, and there's now a growing belief inside the club that a fee of €35m, around £30m, will get the deal done.

There's a catch holding things up, though, and it doesn't involve Liverpool at all. It involves Newcastle.
