Inter Milan appears ready to make a decisive choice in its midfield rebuild this summer, and Curtis Jones is on the losing end of it.
The Italian champions have been linked with Liverpool’s homegrown midfielder for weeks, submitting an offer of roughly €20 million. Liverpool wants closer to €30 million. But before that gap could be bridged, a shinier option emerged: Nico Paz, the young Argentine playmaker currently on loan at Como, whom Real Madrid has made available for around €60 million.
Two targets, one midfield slot
Reports from June 20, 2026, indicate that if Inter successfully negotiates Paz’s signing, the Jones pursuit dies. Not paused, not shelved. Done.
Both players would theoretically fill a creative midfield role, the kind of position that Luis Alberto once occupied under Inzaghi during his Lazio days.
