Report: Euro giants looking to hijack Barcelona’s attempt to sign 74-cap int’l – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Paris Saint-Germain are trying to hijack a move for Gini Wijnaldum.
Barcelona have been trying to sign the 74-times capped Dutch international on a free transfer for a long time.
Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has been delivering an update on Twitter on the 30-year-old on a regular basis.
His contract at Anfield expires at the end of this month, and he has already confirmed that his next destination would be somewhere else.
Romano claims that Barcelona are “already planning” medicals for Wijnaldum, and they are hoping to tie him on a contract till 2024.
However, PSG have joined the race as well and could ruin Barcelona’s transfer plans.
According to reports from ESPN, the French giants are looking to hijack Barcelona’s attempt to sign the midfielder.
Wijnaldum is currently preparing for the European Championships with the Netherlands, but it seems clubs in Europe want to secure his signature at the earliest.
Barcelona boss Ronald Koeman wanted to sign him last summer, and he is key to luring him to Camp Nou after it was confirmed that the Dutch coach would remain in charge for the next season.
At the same time, money speaks. PSG have come forth with a better financial offer, and ESPN claim that he is leaning towards a move to Paris.
Bayern Munich have also expressed an interest in Wijnaldum, and Barcelona are now facing huge competition to sign him.
Wijnaldum was one of the key players for Liverpool last season. He enjoyed a glorious spell at Anfield, winning the Champions League and the Premier League title with the Reds under Jurgen Klopp.
