What happened: Inter and Liverpool have yet to reach a club-to-club agreement for midfielder Curtis Jones despite a new bid arriving in the last 24 hours. A £21m proposal is on the table, but the two clubs remain apart on valuation. Liverpool are holding out for a higher fee.

Why it matters: The gap underscores how far Inter must move to prise Jones from Anfield, where Liverpool have set a firm asking price. Resolving the fee would clear the path for a move that has been edging closer on a reported five-year deal, but until the clubs align there is no deal.

What to watch: Watch for whether Inter return with an improved offer to close the valuation gap, and how quickly the clubs can broker a club-to-club agreement.
