The Reds feel vindicated in their valuation of Jones because it is roughly the same fee which Tottenham Hotspur paid for fellow English midfielder Conor Gallagher to extract him from Atlético Madrid in January, The Times claims.
Jones Paves Way for His Own Exit With Arne Slot Flip-Flop
Curtis Jones (right) is the subject of interest from Inter.
Slot may argue that a player's commitment to the manager is more important than his passport.
Jones was one of Slot's most vocal fans upon the Dutch coach's appointment, hailing how "we're not in a rush to attack" which is "more me" and left him "the happiest I've been." So fulsome was his praise of this more measured style of play, some fans considered it an attack on Jürgen Klopp.
Almost two years later, Jones's stance appears to have shifted.
The midfielder was one of several players to 'like' Mohamed Salah's thinly veiled assault on Slot's tactical schemes, posting a clapping hand emoji beneath his teammate's call for a return to "heavy metal football."
If Jones is to go to Serie A in search of a style of play which better suits his strength, Inter have been told their price.
