Liverpool Proposes Jones-Dumfries Swap Deal to Inter

Negotiations between Inter Milan and Liverpool for Curtis Jones have entered a new phase, with Anfield reportedly proposing a swap deal involving the midfielder and Denzel Dumfries. The Merseyside club had previously rejected Inter's initial £20 million offer, valuing Jones at £10 million more. Dumfries, who has been linked with Liverpool in previous transfer windows, has a release clause in his contract set at €25 million. According to The Mirror, the idea of signing the Dutch right-back remains on the table despite Arne Slot's departure. The club is keen to bolster that position, which faced challenges last season following Conor Bradley's serious injury and numerous minor setbacks for Jeremie Frimpong and Joe Gomez.

It was previously suggested that Jones, who has one year left on his Liverpool contract, also desired a move, primarily due to Slot. However, it appears that even under the new circumstances, he is prepared to join Inter in pursuit of more playing time. Naturally, Liverpool will need to ascertain the opinion of Andoni Iraola, who is expected to be officially announced as the Reds' new manager in the coming days.
