There’ll be a good bit of speculation about Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum joining Barcelona over the coming weeks.
That’s because the Netherlands international is officially out of contract at Liverpool in a couple of months.
Yes, the Reds have offered him a new deal but the fact that he hasn’t yet signed it is probably a big indication that he does not intend to put pen to paper.
With Ronald Koeman, his former manager at the national team, in charge at Barcelona, there’s a natural link between the two.
But according to a report, some players at Camp Nou aren’t overly keen on the idea of signing the Liverpool star.
Mundo Deportivo in Spain have reported in recent days that some personnel in the dressing room don’t want the 30-year-old midfielder – or Memphis Depay – as a team-mate over being too ‘eccentric’ and ‘special’ and would much prefer Neymar back at the club.
And here’s how some Liverpool fans reacted to the speculation on Twitter, with a few supporters refusing to believe it.
