Wednesday's Liverpool transfer talk news roundup: Georginio Wijnaldum, Malick Thiaw

Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Liverpool on Wednesday, November 18.

The summer transfer window has now closed and attention will begin to turn to January for Premier League champions Liverpool.

Jurgen Klopp's side brought in Thiago Alcantara, Diogo Jota and Kostas Tsimikas during the summer, making for one of their busier transfer windows in the last couple of years.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings from Anfield.

Wednesday morning's Liverpool transfer talk news roundup:


Georginio Wijnaldum 'offered new Liverpool contract'

Liverpool have reportedly offered a new contract to midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum, who is being linked with a transfer away from Anfield.

While Wijnaldum remains as a key player for the Premier League champions, the 30-year-old's current deal is due to expire in 2021.

The status of the Netherlands international has inevitably led to interest from elsewhere, with Barcelona and Inter Milan ready to make an approach for the playmaker.

However, according to ESPN, Liverpool officials have moved to offer Wijnaldum a pay rise, hoping that it boosts their chances of retaining his services.

Having been deployed in different roles in midfield over recent weeks, Wijnaldum has proven his worth to manager Jurgen Klopp.

Should he opt against extending his stay on Merseyside, a pre-contract agreement can be reached with foreign clubs in January.



Georginio Wijnaldum 'tempted by move away from Liverpool'

Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum could reportedly be tempted by a move away from Anfield amid speculation over his future.

The former Newcastle United man has less than 12 months left to run on his existing deal with the Premier League champions and has seen his future called into question on several occasions this year.

Liverpool have supposedly tabled a new three-year deal with a salary of £105k per week for Wijnaldum to remain at Anfield, but according to Calciomercato, the 30-year-old has his eye on a new challenge elsewhere.

Barcelona manager Ronald Koeman has publicly admitted his desire to bring Wijnaldum to Camp Nou, with the pair having worked together with the Netherlands national team before Koeman left for Catalonia.

In addition, a recent report suggested that Inter Milan are ready to go head-to-head with Barca for Wijnaldum's signature, and the Italian giants are allegedly preparing a bid for 2021.

Wijnaldum has already made 12 appearances for Jurgen Klopp's side in all competitions this season, playing the full 90 minutes in seven of Liverpool's eight Premier League matches.
