Inter Confident Jones Deal Will Be Struck
Despite the initial impasse, there is optimism within the Nerazzurri camp, with Inter reportedly hopeful that Liverpool may reconsider their position in the coming days. Confidence is buoyed by the fact that Jones’ contract is set to expire in a year, which could increase Liverpool’s willingness to negotiate.
La Gazzetta further notes that Jones himself is keen on a move to San Siro this summer, increasing the likelihood of a positive outcome for the Italian champions. Inter are aiming to complete the transfer swiftly, hoping to have Jones on board for pre-season training under Cristian Chivu in less than one month.
Additional Transfer Developments
Alongside the Jones pursuit, Inter are holding further discussions with Udinese as they look to secure the services of 26-year-old Oumar Solet. The club also appears close to its first major acquisition of the summer, with negotiations for Marco Palestra from Atalanta advancing towards completion, in a deal valued at over €50m.
