Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones is close to a €35 million move to Inter Milan after a public argument with teammate Dominik Szoboszlai over the captain's armband during a pre-season friendly against Wrexham. The dispute, captured on fan video, saw Jones upset that Szoboszlai gave the armband to Kostas Tsimikas instead of him when substituted. Tsimikas threw the armband to the ground in frustration. The players reconciled in training the next day, with club sources calling it a normal elite-level altercation. However, the incident highlights Jones's frustration at being a squad player. With 89 of his 228 Liverpool appearances coming off the bench and his contract in its final year, a transfer to Serie A champions Inter is progressing. Liverpool values Jones at around €40 million, but a compromise near €35 million is expected.
