Gini Wijnaldum has attracted further interest on the continent with Paris Saint Germain and Inter Milan reportedly very keen on signing the midfielder.
It is common knowledge that the Dutchman’s current contract expires in June, but to this point there has been no movement on a new deal leading to strong speculation that the very popular figure will be departing come the end of this campaign.
Allowing Wijnaldum to leave on a free transfer seems crazy on the face of it. You know what you get from the Dutchman. Like the best online casino he provides consistent, reliable excellence. You know what you're going to get so why take a chance on anything inferior?
It does appear that the end is nigh though, as the most recent comment by either party came last month with Wijnaldum rather blunt about how things stand.
"There is no update yet. I also think I’m not the one who should give the update.
"The club should do that. So if there is an update, the club will give it."
The 30 year-old came very close to departing in the past off-season as new Barcelona manager Ronald Koeman had identified his fellow countryman as a key part of his rebuilding plan, however Jurgen Klopp was able to hang on to a key member of his squad.
And it is a good thing too as Wijnaldum has been at his consistent best and his durability has been a godsend for the manager in a season wrecked by significant injuries.
He has made 37 appearances in all competitions and is set to lead the team in Jordan Henderson’s absence. Having more than paid off his initial transfer fee Wijnaldum was a gamble that paid off as handsomely as hitting the jackpot in the best high roller casinos.
The Mirror ( via French publication Le Parisien) reports that PSG have made it known that they are particularly interested in landing Wijnaldum on a free transfer while Inter Milan are monitoring the situation.
It is clear that if the Dutchman does depart Liverpool after five seasons and over 200 appearances, he will leave a sizeable hole in the Liverpool midfield as well as his general impact in and around the squad.
