00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:04.400
<v Speaker 1>Inter Milan are continuing their relentless pursuit of Liverpool midfielder

2
00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:07.799
<v Speaker 1>Curtis Jones, maintaining the twenty five year old as one

3
00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:11.080
<v Speaker 1>of their premier transfer targets for the summer window. The

4
00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:13.800
<v Speaker 1>Italian giants have had Jones at the very top of

5
00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:17.160
<v Speaker 1>their wish lists since May, and reports now indicate a

6
00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:21.000
<v Speaker 1>growing confidence within the Narrazuri hierarchy that a deal can

7
00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:24.600
<v Speaker 1>finally be struck with Liverpool around a thirty five million

8
00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:28.679
<v Speaker 1>euro valuation. The move marks a potential turning point for Jones,

9
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:31.760
<v Speaker 1>who has spent his entire career rising through the ranks

10
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:35.439
<v Speaker 1>at Anfield. Entering the final year of his current contract,

11
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:40.159
<v Speaker 1>the English midfielder has reportedly decided against signing an extension

12
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:44.240
<v Speaker 1>on Merseyside, seeking a guaranteed starting role and a fresh

13
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:48.359
<v Speaker 1>challenge abroad. Inter manager Christian Chevu has been a driving

14
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:52.280
<v Speaker 1>force behind the chase, identifying Jones as an ideal tactical

15
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:56.359
<v Speaker 1>fit capable of adding dynamism, technical elegance and box to

16
00:00:56.439 --> 00:01:00.560
<v Speaker 1>Bach's presence to the Italian champion's midfield set up. While

17
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:04.079
<v Speaker 1>initial offers from San SiO were met with resistance by

18
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Liverpool earlier in the summer. The landscape is shifting as

19
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:12.480
<v Speaker 1>the transfer deadline approaches. Liverpool were originally holding out for

20
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:15.959
<v Speaker 1>a higher package, but with Jones entering the last twelve

21
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:19.599
<v Speaker 1>months of his agreement, the prospective thirty five million euro

22
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.359
<v Speaker 1>fee is increasingly seen as a realistic middle ground for

23
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:28.760
<v Speaker 1>all parties involved. However, Inter's decisive official proposal remains subject

24
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:32.599
<v Speaker 1>to internal movements. The Italian club is currently waiting to

25
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:36.760
<v Speaker 1>finalize the departure of midfielder Davide Fertisi before unlocking the

26
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:40.640
<v Speaker 1>necessary funds and squad space to launch their definitive bid

27
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:44.680
<v Speaker 1>for Jones. Once that domino falls, Inter are fully prepared

28
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:47.680
<v Speaker 1>to re enter direct club to club negotiations to secure

29
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:52.280
<v Speaker 1>Jones before the window closes. If finalized, the transaction would

30
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:56.120
<v Speaker 1>mark a major Serie coup, handing the Italian champions an

31
00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:59.519
<v Speaker 1>elite Premier League midfielder eager to launch the next chapter

32
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:00.879
<v Speaker 1>of his care rear in Milan.
