Overview
- Inter and Liverpool have agreed terms for Curtis Jones in a deal reported this week at about €30 million plus €5 million in bonuses with the player due in Milan for medicals and a contract through 2031.
- Spanish reports say Barcelona sporting director Deco met Lautaro’s agent and that the player has shown openness to a move, but Inter says no formal offer has arrived and describes the captain as not for sale.
- Journalists and Italian outlets note Barcelona’s heavy debt tied to the Espai Barça project and refinancing, which makes any successful Lautaro bid likely to require an unusually large proposal or outside financier support.
- Inter remains active after signing Jones and is assessing an additional attacker to match coach Cristian Chivu’s requests, especially if Luis Henrique departs from the squad.
- Late-window dynamics are shaping knock-on moves across Italy with Como renewing interest in Moise Kean and Juventus under pressure to complete several sales to free space and balance their squad with fewer than two weeks left in the summer window.
