Wijnaldum Close to Joining PSG on a Free Transfer

The midfielder opted not to extend his contract with The Reds at the end of the season 2021/22.

Initially, it was anticipated that Wijnaldum was going to join Barcelona after his contract expires at the end of June in Anfield.

However, Paris-Saint-Germain who missed the League one trophy this season is understood to have stepped in with a better offer for Wijnaldum and therefore he opted to join them.

The presence of Pochettino as the boss is also thought to have been a factor.

The Liverpool midfielder praised Pochettino before he joined The Reds and although the deal is yet to be completed, it is anticipated Wijnaldum will join PSG.

Wijnaldum is currently a part of the Netherlands team which is going to play for the Euro 2020.
