Inter await Nottingham Forest and Man City moves before increasing Jones bid for Liverpool

Inter will need to improve their offer for Curtis Jones and, according to Gazzetta, Nottingham Forest’s incoming proposal for Davide Frattesi would ideally help the Nerazzurri raise funds for the Liverpool midfielder.Inter have made Liverpool midfielder Jones their top transfer target in central midfield, but according to recent reports from the UK, the Reds have set a € 40m price tag on the 25-year-old, who has just entered the final year of his contract at Anfield.Anderson’s move to Man City could spark a transfer domino with Inter and Forest involvedItalian media had previously reported a different transfer fee, suggesting that the Reds would sell Jones for €30m.Inter are set to sign Marco Palestra from Atalanta in a deal worth over €50m, so they’ll need to rack up the budget for Jones by selling some players.Among them is Italy international Frattesi, who has attracted interest from Premier League side Nottingham Forest.Inter value Frattesi at €30m and Forest are reportedly ready to send an offer close to €25m plus add-ons.MILAN, ITALY – MAY 17: FC Internazionale Milano fans welcome the team coach as it arrives at the stadium prior to the Serie A match between FC Internazionale and Hellas Verona FC at Giuseppe Meazza Stadium on May 17, 2026 in Milan, Italy.

Inter will naturally be pushing for the more lucrative offer in order to get as much money as possible for their main midfield target, Jones.
