Liverpool is unaware of any summer transfer deal between Barcelona and Dutch midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum.
According to the news on Sunday, the 30-year-old has opted to leave Anfield when his deal expires this summer, and has already signed a pre-contract with Barcelona, who have been chasing him for the past 12 months.
The club is unaware of any such deal and that Wijnaldum has not mentioned it to anybody at the club, the Liverpool Echo reports to put a spanner in the works.
However, in this case, it doesn’t necessarily mean much. Wijnaldum is under no pressure to inform anyone of his other club’s negotiations and is free to negotiate with Barcelona without Liverpool’s knowledge, given that the player is in the last six months of his deal,
