Inter Milan have intensified their pursuit of Curtis Jones by submitting a third bid following the rejection of their previous £21 million and £27 million offers. Liverpool remain firm in their valuation, reportedly seeking a fee of at least £35 million for the midfielder.
Meanwhile, developments surrounding Alexis Mac Allister have captured attention. Despite being under contract with Liverpool until 2028, no new negotiations have taken place, according to BBC Sport. This contrasts with ongoing discussions over other targets such as Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch. Mac Allister recently addressed his earlier criticisms of the England national team, now expressing admiration for their players and coach ahead of Argentina’s World Cup semi-final clash, while acknowledging that the intensity in international matches does not match the Premier League’s pace.
