Jones Jets Into Milan: Liverpool Midfielder Set for Inter Medical as Transfer Saga Nears Conclusion
Football Italia·August 21, 2026
While the globe's eyes are locked on the drama unfolding at the World Cup 2026, Inter Milan have been quietly working on a deal that could reshape their midfield for the new season. According to Football Italia, Liverpool's Curtis Jones landed in Italy last night and will undergo his medical examinations with the Nerazzurri today, signalling that the transfer is now in its final stages.
The 25-year-old Scouser has been photographed arriving in Milan, with Inter officials eager to wrap up the formalities swiftly. If all goes according to plan, Jones will put pen to paper and become the latest Premier League talent to swap English football for the tactical intensity of Serie A.
Jones leaves Anfield with an impressive pedigree. A product of Liverpool's famed academy, he broke into the first team as a teenager and matured into a reliable creative force, contributing goals, assists, and intelligent ball progression from midfield. His trophy cabinet already includes Premier League and League Cup honours, and he arrives in Italy with the kind of big-club experience Inter crave as they look to mount a serious challenge both domestically and in Europe.
For Inter, the acquisition addresses a clear need. The Nerazzurri have long sought a midfielder capable of carrying the ball through the lines, pressing intelligently, and adding goals from deep positions — precisely the profile Jones has developed under years of top-level coaching in England. His versatility is another selling point: comfortable operating as an eight, a ten, or even in a wider role, Jones gives Inter's coaching staff a genuinely flexible weapon.
The timing of the move is intriguing. Conducting transfer business in the middle of a World Cup summer is never straightforward, with players' values fluctuating wildly based on international performances and clubs scrambling to complete deals before pre-season begins. Inter, it seems, were determined not to let the tournament delay their plans, moving decisively to secure their man before rival suitors could emerge.
For Liverpool, the sale represents the end of an era for a homegrown favourite, but also a significant financial injection as they look to reinvest in their own squad rebuild. Anfield faithful will watch Jones's Serie A adventure with a mixture of fondness and curiosity.
As reported by Football Italia, the medical represents the final hurdle. Should Jones pass without complications, an official announcement is expected imminently — and Inter fans will have their first marquee signing of what promises to be a fascinating summer window, even with the World Cup commanding the headlines.
