Overview
- Inter opened direct club-to-club talks for Jones on a loan with an option to buy, reported at about €40 million.
- Liverpool have not given approval for a January exit and want Jones to sign a new deal first, according to multiple reports including Sky-linked sources.
- Claims in Italy that Jones has approved the move are disputed by UK reporting, with Liverpool-linked outlets saying senior departures are off the table.
- Inter’s pursuit is tied to Davide Frattesi’s proposed switch to Nottingham Forest, reported as a loan with an option worth roughly £34–35 million pending a replacement.
- Liverpool also inquired about Inter wing-back Denzel Dumfries during a right-back injury shortage, but no bid was made and Inter are not keen on a loan.
