- Georginio Wijnaldum has reportedly decided to leave Liverpool this summer
- Sunday times claim that the midfielder has agreed a pre-contract with Barcelona
- It would be a free transfer with the player’s contract expiring in the summer
Georginio Wijnaldum has reportedly decided to leave Liverpool at the end of the season to join Barcelona.
The Sunday Times claims the Dutchman has already reached a pre-contract deal to become the first signing of Joan Laporta’s second term as president.
The player’s current contract expires in the summer, so it would be a free transfer.

Midfield reinforcements are a priority for Ronald Koeman as the club tied their hands in the window last summer due to financial troubles.
The move is also seen as a vote of confidence in Koeman, whose team is taking shape after a difficult first half of the season.
“I would love if he stayed here,” Klopp said earlier this season. ‘I am quite happy with Gini. You notice that in most line-ups. He always played well, that’s why he played so many games. And he has played many positions; different positions. ‘

Wijnaldum recently spoke about his love to play for Liverpool.
Asked if it would be difficult to leave, the midfielder said: ‘Really difficult. When that happens, you leave a team you really love. A team where you have been together for many years, a team where you really feel at ease. That would be difficult, but on the other hand, you would know the situation as to why you should leave.
‘It always depends on the situation, but I would be devastated [if] I haven’t played with this team again, that’s for sure, ‘he said.
