Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones and Dominik Szoboszlai have reconciled after a heated argument following a pre-season friendly win over Wrexham at Yankee Stadium. The dispute arose when Szoboszlai, as captain, gave the armband to Kostas Tsimikas instead of Jones upon being substituted. Tsimikas dropped the armband in frustration during the incident. The players were seen training together amicably in Chicago the next day. Separately, Jones is nearing a transfer to Inter Milan, with the Serie A champions increasing their bid to €35 million after an initial €25 million offer was rejected. Liverpool values Jones at around €40 million. The 25-year-old is in the final year of his contract with no extension progress, and he seeks a more prominent role than his current squad-player status under new head coach Andoni Iraola.
