Liverpool have been frightening teams in recent seasons with their determined, dogged pressing and their irresistible counter attack. Jürgen Klopp’s well oiled machine has proven unstoppable. One of the key cogs of the machine could be set to extend his stay. The Guardian has reported that Liverpool are set to restart talks with Gini Wijnaldum over a new contract.
Gini Wijnaldum superstar
This weekend showed just why Gini Wijnaldum is so important for the Reds.
The Dutchman started his 11th successive game for club and country and he put in a top performance.
Gini was storming around the pitch with a determination that has come to characterise his game.
The 30-year-old capped his display with a wonderful goal curled into the top right corner to double the Reds’ lead.
It was a game emblematic of everything he brings to the team. He has become undroppable in recent seasons, he is a vital cog in Jürgen Klopp’s gegenpressing system.
Liverpool to offer Gini Wijnaldum contract
This summer Gini Wijnaldum entered the final year of his contract at Anfield.
The Dutchman has since been linked with a move away with Barcelona repeatedly mentioned as a potential destination.
As January approaches the need to sort out his future becomes more urgent.
He can negotiate a pre-contract with another club in the New Year.
According to The Guardian, Liverpool are set to restart talks with Gini Wijnaldum over a new contract.
However, the Dutchman is concerned about his role in the team going forward.
What RTK has to say
Liverpool tieing Gini Wijnaldum down to a new contract is the Christmas present every Kopite wants.
The Dutchman is undroppable and potentially irreplaceable.
His fitness levels and determination are unreal, we’d be hard pressed to find someone to take on his role in the side.
Hopefully we’ll hear some news on this front in the coming weeks.
