There are a lot of fans asking me why I didn't just accept Liverpool's offer to extend my contract. But that's not all. It is about much more than that. There are things going on behind the scenes that are beyond your control as a player. I will explain this to you after the tournament,because now only the Oranje (the selection of the Netherlands) count. What I mean is that the staff, club employees and my teammates would have liked to keep me. I told them more. After that, they completely understood my decision. Its important to me. "

With Liverpool, Georginio Wijnaldum won the Champions League in 2019, but also the Premier League the following year. For Vikash Dhorasoo, consultant La Chaîne L'Équipe, he is a major reinforcement for Paris, which has topped the competition of Barça in this file: “On the right, on the left, in front of the defense: he is strong, he puts goals , he moves forward. It is good what! At Liverpool, he was more of a backup player and slowly he became a starter. It's not nothing I find when you start in a team like Liverpool, with a coach like Klopp, and Liverpool wanted to extend you, that Barcelona wanted you too. It's a pretty good sign to get a player like that back. Technically comfortable, Wijnaldum is not a pure sentinel.He has a certain versatility that will bring a little more variety to the Parisian midfielder.
