Liverpool have turned down a fresh transfer approach from Inter Milan for midfielder Curtis Jones, with the Italian giants seeing their verbal offer of €25 million (£21 million) rejected outright by the Anfield hierarchy. The Serie A side had submitted the proposal over the last 24 hours in their continued pursuit of the England international, but the Merseyside club remain unmoved and determined to hold out for a higher fee.

The rejection marks a significant stance from Liverpool, who are understood to be standing firm on their valuation of the 23-year-old. Despite Inter’s persistence, the Reds have shown no inclination to entertain anything less than their asking price for one of their promising young assets. Jones, who contributed significantly to Liverpool’s campaign with his performances in the middle of the park, appears set to remain part of Arne Slot’s plans for the foreseeable future.

Meanwhile, Tottenham have expressed strong interest in Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo, with manager Roberto De Zerbi identifying the Dutch international as a priority signing as he looks to reshape his attacking options ahead of the new Premier League season. However, any potential move for Gakpo would likely require a substantial offer given his importance to Liverpool’s squad.
