Inter, how much did Curtis Jones cost? Figures and impact on the accounts

The English midfielder is ready to become Inter’s new signing in midfield.

Inter pushed hard for him, waited for him and kept others on hold. Now the pursuit that began last January has its ending. In the next few hours Curtis Jones will leave Liverpool for Italy, heading to Milan for the usual medical before completing the move.

It is not a cheap deal for Inter, but how much will the Englishman cost and what impact will he have on the club's accounts?

The figures

Inter have completed the signing of Curtis Jones for a total fee of €30 million plus €6 million in bonuses, effectively meeting Liverpool's demands, although they had already dropped from the €40 million requested at the start of the summer.

Jones, meanwhile, will sign a contract until 30 June 2031, a five-year deal worth €3.5 million net per season plus bonuses.

Impact on the balance sheet

What do these figures mean for the accounts this season and beyond? The annual amortisation charge will be €6 million per season until the €30 million value changes, depending on whether or not the bonuses are triggered.

The salary component, gross and without the benefits of the Growth Decree, will instead come to about €6.5 million.

So on an annual basis, Curtis Jones will cost Inter around €12.5 million on the accounts
