The Newcastle United midfielder has been linked with a move away from St James’ Park this summer.
According to the Chronicle, Newcastle United chiefs are relaxed about the interest in star man Georginio Wijnaldum.
The Dutchman was the Magpies key player last season as he scored 11 goals in the Premier League despite their relegation to the Championship.’
That form did not go unnoticed by Premier League sides, with several thought to be chasing his signature this summer.
Everton and Tottenham Hotspur have been credited with an interest by the Daily Mail, while Sunday saw the Telegraph reporting that Liverpool are leading the race for his signature.
Rafa Benitez’s side are not keen to sell though and have reportedly set a £25 million asking price for their man.
It is unknown whether the interested parties are willing to pay that price for him, but according to the Chronicle, Newcastle chiefs are relaxed about the interest regardless.
The Dutchman is secured to a long-term contract and they are only prepared to accept a huge offer for last season’s top goal-scorer.
They have told Wijnaldum that he must retain his professionalism until his future is resolved, with it looking like he may be one of the big transfer stories this summer.
