Blockbuster Liverpool Transfer News: Richard Hughes holds in-person transfer talks in Europe

Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes has reportedly held in-person transfer talks.

The imminent World Cup means clubs can't really wait around for transfers this summer. They'll want to get deals done pre-tournament - and the players will, too.

Injuries, form, hype etc. can all derail plans and change potential deals. Best to get them done now before attitudes change.

So that'll be why one sporting director in Europe was eager to talk with Richard Hughes. Gianluca Di Marzio reports that Inter's Piero Ausilio discussed a potential move for Curtis Jones with Hughes while in Monaco this week.

It's said that nothing was agreed on but it is thought that there's real potential for something to happen. Inter previously tried to sign Jones back in January but a deal didn't get off the mark.

Jones has one year remaining on his contract and it's widely reported that he could leave Liverpool. In fact, there hasn't been any news on a potential new deal for a long time now - a telltale sign that he's off.

It's one we don't really understand at all. And potentially a disaster sale from the Reds as they continue to gut their homegrown squad.

Inter are ready to take full advantage.

Curtis Jones: Situation Summary

Liverpool Campaign Finale and Stats

As of 27 May 2026, Curtis Jones has concluded his domestic campaign under Arne Slot on an individual high. Showing his ultimate versatility by stepping into a makeshift right-back role due to squad injuries, the 25-year-old local midfielder started and played the full 90 minutes in Sunday's final Premier League fixture. He scored a 57th-minute opener from a Mohamed Salah cross in the 1–1 draw against Brentford at Anfield, a result that successfully secured a fifth-place finish and Champions League qualification.

Transfer Speculation and Inter Milan Talks

Despite his final-day goal and a post-match interview where he expressed commitment to stepping up as a leader following the exits of Salah and Andy Robertson, Jones' long-term future remains heavily scrutinised. He is entering the final year of his contract, and extension talks are currently on hold. Gianluca Di Marzio reports that Inter Milan have entered advanced talks with Liverpool after sporting directors Piero Ausilio and Richard Hughes met in Monte Carlo to negotiate a summer move.
