Could Wijnaldum be Ronald Koeman's first signing at FC Barcelona?

Reports in Holland suggest Koeman wants to add the Liverpool midfielder to his Barcelona squad

Sport EN

The list of names being linked with a move to FC Barcelona continues to grow by the day. Following reports of Van de Beek potentially heading to the Camp Nou, there's another Dutchman being linked today: Georginio Wijnaldum. The 29-year-old Liverpool midfielder has obviously worked with Ronald Koeman in the national team.

According to Dutch outlet 'AD', Koeman has asked Wijnaldum not to sign a new deal at Anfield so he would be available on a free transfer in 2021. This means he could be available for a cheaper than usual price, or for free if he sees out his final 12 months with Liverpool.

 

Wijnaldum was the Liverpool hero two seasons ago when he scored a brace at Anfield to help eliminate Barcelona from the Champions League.
