Inter: Curtis Jones preferred to Manu Koné to strengthen the midfield according to Chivu

Inter Milan has made its choice to strengthen its midfield: Curtis Jones, Liverpool midfielder, is now the Lombard club's preferred target, ahead of Manu Koné. According to information from Corriere dello Sport, this preference is motivated by both technical and financial considerations.

Cristian Chivu, interim coach of Inter, particularly appreciates the profile of the Englishman, whom he considers perfectly suited to the game he wishes to play. The desire of the Nerazzurro club would even be to welcome Curtis Jones from the winter transfer window, but the management is now counting on a transfer during the summer transfer window.

In addition to the style of play, the economic factor plays a central role in this choice: requests for Manu Koné amount to around 50 million euros, an investment that the club considers too high. On the other hand, Curtis Jones is estimated at around 30 million euros, a price that is already more accessible. Currently, Inter have submitted an offer of around €20 million to Liverpool, and discussions are ongoing with the hope of finding a compromise.

Another advantage for Inter is the interest shown by Curtis Jones in Serie A experience, which makes negotiations easier. The Milan club sees in him the potential successor to Davide Frattesi, whose departure could free up space and resources for the transfer window.

The Curtis Jones track therefore remains active and should experience developments in the coming weeks as Inter seeks to structure its environment with profiles adapted to its sporting and budgetary project.
