Inter Milan wants Curtis Jones. Liverpool doesn’t want to sell him. And somewhere in the middle of this valuation tug-of-war, fan token markets are quietly paying attention.
The Italian giants have now had at least two bids rejected for the Liverpool midfielder, with their most recent verbal offer of €25 million falling well short of Liverpool’s €40 million asking price. Inter is reportedly preparing a third, improved bid, but the gap between what they’re willing to pay and what Liverpool will accept remains significant enough that Inter director Piero Ausilio has acknowledged an agreement is becoming “increasingly unlikely.”
The valuation standoff
Liverpool sees a 25-year-old England international who came through their academy and believes €40 million (roughly £35 million) is the floor. Inter sees the same player but notes he’s entering the final year of his contract, expiring in summer 2027, and believes that timeline should work in their favor.
Earlier bids from Inter ranged between £17 million and £21 million, so the €25 million offer did represent an escalation. Just not enough of one.
