According to The Daily Mail, there is a real possibility that Georginio Wijnaldum will head into the final year of his contract at Liverpool without signing a new deal.

Wijnaldum is out of contract at Premier League club Liverpool in the summer of 2021.

The Reds have put contract talks with the former Newcastle United midfielder on hold due to the current global health crisis.

The Daily Mail has described the Netherlands international midfielder as “an instrumental figure” for manager Jurgen Klopp, and the report has claimed that there is now a “real possibility” that he will head into next season with the prospect of him becoming a free agent in the summer of 2021.

No panic

While Liverpool should ideally get Wijnaldum’s contract sorted before the start of next season, there is no really no panic.

After all, the Dutchman is playing regularly for the Merseyside outfit and seems happy at Anfield.

With Liverpool doing well these days, both in the Premier League and in the Champions League, one suspects that the Dutchman will want to sign a new contract and stay at Liverpool beyond 2021
