What happened. Curtis Jones has been absent from Liverpool's last three pre-season matches, with the club citing a hip injury, but Italian media claim it's a 'white lie' to mask his desire to force a transfer to Inter Milan.

• Liverpool rejected a £21.7m bid from Inter in June.
• Liverpool have reduced their asking price to facilitate a deal.
• Jones missed matches against Leeds, Monaco, and Como.

With two weeks left in the window, a deal seems close as Liverpool lower their demands.
