Inter Milan seeks funding from Frattesi sale for improved Jones bid

Inter Milan is renewing its pursuit of Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones after previous attempts this summer were unsuccessful. The club plans to sell Davide Frattesi to finance a new offer for Jones, valued at £35 million. Liverpool has rejected Inter's initial approaches and is increasingly frustrated, indicating they will not negotiate unless a significantly better offer is made. Jones, with one year remaining on his contract, may be open to leaving for more playing time and could lead Liverpool to target new midfield signings. Negotiations for a potential new contract for Jones may occur later this year.
