Liverpool must balance the risk of losing valuable squad members next summer against the value of retaining experienced homegrown players in Andoni Iraola&#8217;s first season as manager.<\/p>\n<p>Inter, on the other hand, seem confident that their tenacity could ultimately force them to compromise.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Liverpool_remain_firm_despite_improved_offer_from_Inter\"><\/span>Liverpool remain firm despite improved offer from Inter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>According to talkSPORT, Liverpool have rejected Inter&#8217;s latest offer of around \u00a327 million for Curtis Jones.<\/p>\n<p>This offer was closer to the Reds&#8217; reported \u00a330m offer than Inter&#8217;s previous bid of around \u00a321.6m, but it was still rejected.<\/p>\n<p>Jones is thought to be open to a move away from Anfield after his starting opportunities declined last season.<\/p>\n<p>However, Liverpool&#8217;s new head coach reportedly values \u200b\u200bhis versatility and wants to assess him during pre-season before approving his departure.<\/p>\n<p>This Is Anfield reports that Iraola wants Jones to stay beyond next season, suggesting a new deal could still be possible if the midfielder wins a key role under the Spanish manager.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reds_face_big_stakes_due_to_contract_situation\"><\/span>Reds face big stakes due to contract situation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Liverpool cannot ignore financial risks. Jones&#8217; current contract expires in 2027, but the Guardian previously reported that talks for an extension had not been agreed.<\/p>\n<p>Inter may therefore believe that Liverpool&#8217;s position will weaken as the transfer deadline approaches.<\/p>\n<p>Liverpool are right to reject the \u00a327m offer as the difference between their asking price is small enough for Inter to make up.<\/p>\n<p>Jones is a proven Premier League veteran and can play in several midfield roles, so it makes little sense to accept a discounted offer.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Reds must decide quickly whether they really want to extend his contract. It would be bad business to keep him for just one season and then lose him for nothing.<\/p>\n<p>If Inter&#8217;s transfer fee reaches \u00a330m and Jones makes it clear he wants to leave, Liverpool should accept the deal and reinvest rather than prolong the situation.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>New contacts: Liverpool step up pursuit of winger as they push for 23-year-old<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As Inter Milan continue to test their resolve, Liverpool face a delicate decision regarding one of their homegrown midfielders.The Italian champions have returned with an improved offer, but the Reds refuse to discount the player despite him entering the final year of his contract.
