Liverpool star explains motivation for exit as he opens up on 'truly crazy' signing day

Jones left Liverpool for Internazionale, driven by a desire to win trophies after limited playing time in finals despite eight seasons at Anfield.

Curtis Jones has completed his move from Liverpool to Internazionale, with the England international explaining his decision to leave his boyhood club. Despite winning two Premier League titles, the League Cup, FA Cup, and FIFA Club World Cup during eight seasons at Anfield, Jones was largely sidelined in major finals—an unused substitute in the FA Cup and Club World Cup finals, and absent from the 2022 Champions League final loss to Real Madrid and both League Cup finals.

Jones made 228 appearances for Liverpool, contributing 22 goals and 22 assists, but the lure of joining Inter proved decisive. "Simply winning. I want to win," he told DAZN. "I want to be part of a winning team." Inter have won three Serie A titles and three Coppa Italias in the past five years, reaching two Champions League finals—a trajectory that appealed to Jones.

He emphasized his attachment to Liverpool's history but was struck by Inter's trophy room. "Walking into that room when I signed, I saw how much gold there was and how many trophies this club had won. It was truly crazy, incredible." Jones chose the number 21 shirt, matching both the date he signed (21st) and Inter's 21st Scudetto.
