Wijnaldum is still a solid player who is always contributing while on the pitch with a couple of years still to play. His spell at Liverpool has been nothing short of a success. He has been linked with Barcelona for a while, it got so intense in January that I thought he'd make the move. But I think they should get him this time. Liverpool should be looking at getting replacements anytime soon because the services of Gini will be missed. I still recall what he did to Barcelona in 2019
- sad to see a good player like that leave but doesn't change the fact that we need fresh legs in our team.
Yeah, he is definitely a great player. He has very nice memories here. I don't know whether Liverpool really need to send him but maybe they want to make important changes in their lineup.
So we still have humans who believe Goal.com transfer news and speculations? Isn't this the same media who reported Dembele to Arsenal and Fati to Manchester United in the summer? No doubt Barcelona approached for the service of Wijnaldum to replace the outgoing Bosquet but there was never a direct contact, it was just a discussion between Barcelona and his agent. Skysports and goal.com sucks at transfer news.
Actually, there are many websites which are like this. But still I get curious about whether it could be true also.
Even if Barcelona haven't made an offer yet, it looks like they aim to do it.
30 years is still peak for most midfielders so I'm sure there will be many teams lined up for him. He is a worldclass player. Barca can use a midfielder but Im not sure if Wijnaldum is the guy for the job. He is very good on the ball though.So, that is a general characteristic that Barca generally looks for.
You are actually right. There are so many midfielders who are playing even better in their thirties. I think Barcelona could really make use of a strong midfielder now and Wijnaldum is one of the great choices.
