Curtis Jones appears to be edging closer to a summer exit from Liverpool, with his latest social media activity setting transfer rumours alight across the football world.
Eagle-eyed supporters noticed that the Liverpool midfielder had followed Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni on Instagram, raising immediate questions about his future.
Within minutes of Jones hitting the follow button, Bastoni returned the gesture and followed the 25-year-old back on the platform.
While social media interactions can be coincidental, the timing of this mutual follow has added significant fuel to an already growing transfer story.
The online activity aligns with recent comments made by well-known transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, who addressed the situation directly on his YouTube channel.
Romano confirmed that the Serie A club are preparing a fresh move for the Liverpool academy product, stating: “Inter are ready to make another push for Curtis Jones.”
He added further detail on the likely timeline, saying: “We’ll see when that happens, whether it’s as early as next week or during the final week of the window.”
Romano also made clear where Jones himself stands on the potential switch, emphasising: “Jones is doing everything he can to join Inter.”
Jones is currently entering the final year of his contract at Anfield, which places Liverpool in a difficult position as they weigh up whether to sell now or risk losing him for nothing next summer.
His absence from Liverpool’s pre-season fixtures against Monaco and Como has only intensified speculation that his future is being resolved away from the pitch.
Inter had previously submitted an approach for Jones that failed to convince Liverpool, but the Italian club are now reportedly preparing a renewed offer to test the Reds’ resolve again.
The midfielder has spent his entire senior career at Liverpool, but the arrival of Florian Wirtz and a broader midfield reshuffle at the club have increased competition significantly for places.
A move to Inter Milan would give Jones the opportunity to establish himself in Serie A and take on a fresh challenge at one of Europe’s most storied clubs.
Liverpool will ultimately hold the key to whether the deal gets done, with Inter’s ability to meet the club’s valuation the decisive factor in any potential agreement.
No confirmation of a completed deal has emerged yet, but with Inter preparing another approach and Jones reportedly pushing hard for the transfer, this story shows no signs of slowing down.
