The Guardian’s July report described renewed Inter contact for Curtis Jones and a willingness to offer €35m, with Liverpool valuing him closer to €40m. These were negotiation-stage amounts, not a verified final transfer price. Football Italia separately quoted Liverpool’s coach attributing Jones’s friendly absence to a hip issue.
Inter announced on 21 August that Jones had joined permanently from Liverpool and signed until 30 June 2031. The official statement confirms the completed move but does not disclose a transfer fee. It therefore resolves the destination without confirming that the July offer was accepted at that amount or that earlier squad omissions were transfer-related.
