The 30-year-old has been the subject of much debate during the course of this season, as a renewal of his contract is pending- with 6 months left on his current deal.
Recently, former Chelsea forward and football pundit Tony Cascarino weighed in on the debate in his regular column for The Times, claiming the Dutchman sums up Liverpool’s positive attitude.
Cascarino further went on to compare the 30-year-old midfielder with Philippe Coutinho, who left Liverpool for Barcelona in 2018.
Liverpool are yet to finalise a contract-extension for Wijnaldum, and Cascarino believes that if Jurgen Klopp lets the Dutchman go, it will be because he has a replacement readily lined up.
Could Georginio Wijnaldum move to Barcelona amid Liverpool contract frustration?
Georginio Wijnaldum’s contract negotiations with Liverpool have been a contentious topic of debate over the past few months, with the Reds offering the Dutchman a new deal as recently as December, which Wijanldum reportedly rejected.
The rumour mill has been been rife with news about Wijnaldum moving away from Merseyside this summer, despite being a mainstay in Jurgen Klopp’s side over the past few seasons.
A vast majority of clubs around Europe have shown interest in the 30-year-old, with Barcelona leading the line under Ronald Koeman’s tutelage, someone Wijnaldum worked with during his time with the Dutch national team.
Amid heavy interest from the Blaugrana, the Dutchman has recently confirmed to Sky Sport that there are no updates regarding his future with the Reds at the moment, and that the updates must come from the club and not him.
