Inter's Interest in Jones
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Jones is Inter coach Cristian Chivu's preferred central midfield target. However, Inter are not willing to meet Liverpool's €40 million asking price.
The report suggests Inter's reluctance stems from Jones having less than a year left on his contract at Anfield.
