Naomi Baker/Getty Images Italian giants Inter Milan have advanced in their pursuit of Curtis Jones, with Nerazzurri boss Cristian Chivu believing the Liverpool star could fit well as a wide player. Inter Milan have already made their move but failed with their attempts to sign Jones, with the Reds unwilling to sell unless the club’s asking price is matched.

Though the Serie A side remain keen, it was recently suggested that they ‘have no intention’ of increasing their bid from €35m for the midfielder, as the Italian side believe that is a significant figure given that Jones will be able to leave Liverpool on a free transfer next summer. However, according to Italian journalist Damiano Er Faina, the Nerazzurri have advanced in their pursuit of Jones, with manager Chivu believing that the 25-year-old could also operate in a wide role.

It has been suggested in Italy that any move for Jones is more likely later this month, when Liverpool could be prepared to lower their asking price. It remains to be seen whether the Reds will reduce their demands and let Jones leave this summer.
