PSG are making a late move to trump Barcelona for off contract Liverpool midfielder Gini Wijnaldum.
It had looked certain that Barcelona would land the 30-year-old on a free transfer as a long term target, with the players’ representatives having been negotiating with Nou Camp chiefs.
ESPN says PSG are ready to gazump the Spanish side with a more generous financial package that the report claims he is more attracted by, as Mauricio Pochettino looks to revamp his squad to win back the French title next term.
The report claims Barca are aware of the competition from outside the club, with Bayern Munich also thought to be monitoring the situation.
Having met up with the Dutch squad as part of a side targeting glory at Euro 2020 this summer, Wijnaldum admitted he had been in touch with Barca over a deal, but he didn’t rule out the prospect of moving elsewhere.
“I cannot deny the contacts [with Barcelona]. I have just signed off from Liverpool and it is an interesting situation for many clubs,” he said.
