Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is to hold talks with Reds ace Georginio Wijnaldum today over his Anfield future, according to Sky Sports.

The Dutch midfielder is heading into the final year of his £75,000-a-week contract and would be free to speak to overseas clubs from January.

Wijnaldum has been heavily linked with Barcelona in recent weeks, with Goal.com recently reporting that new Camp Nou boss Ronald Koeman is confident of landing his “top target”.

However, Sky Sports claims that the 29-year-old is in fact is keen to stay at Liverpool, if an agreement can be reached on an extension to his present deal.

Wijnaldum has been with Liverpool since 2016 and has made 187 competitive appearances for the Reds, while at international level, he has 61 Netherlands caps.

Wijnaldum has been a superb servant for Liverpool over the past few years and he still has plenty to offer the Reds.

It’s great to hear that he is reportedly keen on staying at Anfield, but the prospect of reuniting with Koeman at Barca has surely given him food for thought.

Hopefully, these reported talks will be positive and ultimately result in Wijnaldum extending his stint on the red half of Merseyside beyond next year.
