18 Months of Back-and-Forth End Here
For a solid year and a half, Inter Milan has been sniffing around Curtis Jones. Talk about a long courtship, right? The hold-up, as always, came down to cold hard cash: the gap between what Liverpool wanted and what Inter was willing to pay seemed impossible to bridge. But somehow, miraculously, they actually hammered out a final agreement this summer. Sky Italy journalist Gianluca di Marzio broke the news, confirming Jones will get his fitness test tomorrow at noon before signing on the dotted line.

It’s a clean break, and honestly, it’s about time for all parties involved to move on.
The Clock is Ticking: More Moves Still Needed
With less than two weeks left before the 2026-27 summer transfer window slams shut at the end of August, Liverpool still has a ton of work to do. Coach Iraola needs to make space, and it’s obvious some players have to be moved to make room for new blood. Calvin Ramsay is reportedly on the verge of joining St. Mirren, and Tottenham Hotspur is still circling around Cody Gakpo. You’d think these deals would get ironed out super fast with so little time left. Liverpool needs more additions if they seriously want to challenge for trophies again, and these departures are crucial for making those dreams a reality. Expect a flurry of activity as August winds down.
This deal finally going through is just the first domino. The Reds have to figure out their complete squad vision fast, because the window is closing, and there’s no time to waste. What other surprise moves are coming down the pipeline for Liverpool before that deadline hits? Everyone’s watching to see if they can pull off the deals they need to be a true contender this season.
