Inter Milan’s pursuit of Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones collapsed at the final hurdle after the Reds withdrew their own loan proposal, simultaneously freezing the Nerazzurri’s plans to sell Davide Frattesi to Nottingham Forest.
According to SportMediaset, citing Corriere dello Sport, Liverpool had actively offered Jones to Inter on a straight loan basis. An agreement with the player himself had been reached, but Liverpool pulled back at the last moment – concerned about thinning their own squad and wary of complications around Jones’ contract, which runs to 2027.
That U-turn had immediate downstream consequences. Without the Jones addition, Inter removed Frattesi from the market entirely. Nottingham Forest had been ready to take Frattesi, but the move did not proceed once the Jones deal fell through.
Jones Deal Structure and Frattesi’s Transfer Details
As reported by TuttoMercatoWeb, Gianluca Di Marzio confirmed that Jones could unlock Frattesi’s departure, with the player having already given his approval and the clubs awaiting Liverpool’s green light. Di Marzio indicated that the operation would see Frattesi leave on a loan with an option to buy, for a total of €40 million. Fabrizio Romano also confirmed that Inter and Liverpool were in direct talks over a Jones loan with an option to buy, with negotiations linked to Frattesi and a response awaited from Nottingham Forest.
Liverpool’s reluctance ultimately stemmed from concerns over squad depth and complications related to Jones’ contract. For now, Curtis Jones stays at Anfield, and Frattesi stays at San Siro – both exits blocked by the same last-minute withdrawal.
whatever you, N1, wrote about Fratessi is definitely not shared by the Inter managements, since Fratessi is leaving us for Lazio, most likely. Whether it will be a loan deal or outright purchase is still unknown, but what is known is that he’s leaving and that you are the one who, in the end, have turned out to be stupid.
Let me use per minute played; Curtis jones: 2877 minutes(4 goals and 7 assists). Frattesi: 2493 minutes(10 goals and 1 assist). Before you talk check stats critical fake fans.
So the reason you are saying we should sell him is because he didn’t do well last season. what a stupid jerk are you all because he had a bad season, so now you don’t believe that he can do better. See how stupid you all fake fans are you want us to sell him for how much 8 million euros because of his terrible performance last season and so is this how football is, if you don’t do well last season you would get sold that means we will sell everybody, please sorry for calling you stupid and idiots but honestly stop being too negative,it is making you look like critics and not fans express your dissafaction and disappointment moderately and please instead of talking negatively say things to help the club succeed.
Fake critics please I urge you to leave the club because the club is not satisfying your desires please,please inter is not for everyone. Real fans look at something to say about the man city game(positive) but you can say something you dislike but don’t make it too insultive,just make it moderate you can talk something you don’t like but please be moderate. Forza inter.
Frattessi is treated badly and I won’t allow you to make him look like a flop, idiot critics support barca,psg,man city,arsenal,liverpool,realmadrid,chelsea,man united,atletico madrid etc and leave inter alone. You are not forced to be a fan since the club is too problematic with bad old players,bad coach,bad management,bad chairman,bad sporting director, etc LEAVE INTER ALONE.
569 minutes in serie A just look at how low his playing time is and you expect him to score he is always coming from bench and you expect him to score stupid foolish critics.
Statiscally frattesi scored 10 goals and Gave 1 assists in 55 matches while curtis jones played 53 games and scored 4 goals and 7 assists what is the difference fool. you arejust using his serie A performance against him check his cl performance we would’nt have reach cl final. you people should learn how to appreciate and not find fault stupid critics pretending to be fans.
Ftrattesi last season (2025/26): Serie A: 22 games played, 0 starts, 569 minutes, 0 goals, 0 assists. Champions League: 7 appearances, 300 minutes, 0 goals. You’re sure we’re discussing the same player?
frattesi didn’t do well last season says who i still remember in cl semifinal against barca he came from bench and scored and he was also scoring goals in most of the cl matches last season so because he is playing for liverpool is making you think he is better i don’t get why frattesi is treated badly so abeg what the curteois jones did last season please stop underrating your player and overrating another player because of the team he plays for. Frattesi deserves more credit.
Frattesi did not show anything good last season so there is no reason for us to keep him any longer…Jones would certainly be an upgrade
football is not for you go watch cricket instead
You can clearly see how foolish this club is frattesi is 5 times better than curtis jones or is it because he is playing for liverpool that young arrogant average player because curtis jones is young and playing for liverpool dosen’t mean he is better than frattesi keep frattesi and if liverpool don’t want to sell him it is fine.
