Liverpool have turned down a second bid from Inter Milan for Curtis Jones. The Reds have rebuffed a \u00a321million offer from the Serie A heavyweights, according to the Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The proposal falls considerably short of Liverpool’s valuation of Jones, with reports suggesting the Merseyside club’s top brass are becoming increasingly frustrated by Inter’s repeated approaches<\/a> below their valuation. The Reds do not consider the Italian side to be serious contenders for the midfielder’s signature, such is the gulf in how the two clubs value Jones.<\/p>\n

Jones, 25, is priced at \u00a335m by the Reds, with the club maintaining that this represents fair market value following Conor Gallagher’s move to Tottenham<\/a> from Atletico Madrid in January for a comparable fee. Liverpool<\/a> also rejected an approach from Inter during the winter window, when the Italian outfit had hoped to secure a loan deal with a view to a permanent transfer.<\/p>\n

The Anfield academy graduate has just one year left on his current deal<\/a>, with no negotiations over a fresh contract presently underway<\/a>. Despite this, sporting director Richard Hughes is said to have little appetite for further discussions with Inter after the club indicated they would not exceed \u00a321.7m.<\/p>\n

With a new deal looking unlikely, speculation surrounding Jones’ future shows no sign of abating. Former Liverpool striker Emile Heskey believes a move to Serie A could help Jones fulfil his potential.<\/p>\n

“I’d be very surprised if he’s not pushing for a new contract,” Heskey told LiveFootballTickets. “So there’s something there that tells me that they’re not willing to offer him what he wants.<\/p>\n

“They’re either not willing to offer him a new contract or they’re not willing to offer him what he wants in that contract. He’s got ambitions to be a regular England player. So he needs to be playing regularly, and I think he can become a regular England player but he needs to be playing regularly at his club.<\/p>\n

“I think if Liverpool can’t give him that I think he then looks at other pastures. You look at Scott McTominay (at Napoli) who has gone on to play in Italy and he’s been lauded for it.<\/p>\n

“He’s actually changed the way people look at him as a footballer, and I think Curtis has got the ability to do that. He’s got so much ability to lead and he could play in several different positions.”<\/p>\n

In more encouraging news for Liverpool, RB Leipzig and Ivory Coast<\/a> sensation Yann Diomande has opened up about the prospect of a Premier League<\/a> switch. Liverpool have informed Leipzig they are prepared to table a bid of up to \u00a386m for the 19-year-old.<\/p>\n

“Would I be open to the Premier League? I don’t know,” Diomande said. “I am an RB Leipzig player, but why not? My agents will sort that out.<\/p>\n

“As for me I am more focused on the World Cup, that’s the most important thing. It doesn’t happen all the time, it’s only every four years, so I am making the most of it and for the rest, we’ll see.”<\/p>\n
