{WATCH VIDEO}: Wijnaldum reveals the reasons that made him chose PSG over Barcelona
Georginio Wijnaldum was someone that Barcelona was hoping to sign for the 2021/22 season, only for the Dutchman to turn down the chance to work with Ronald Koeman again in favour of a move to Paris Saint-Germain.
The ex-Liverpool midfielder was available on a free transfer – something that Barcelona have taken advantage of already this summer – and was seen as an ideal target for the Catalans.

“It was difficult,” Wijnaldum said of his decision.
“I was negotiating with Barcelona for four weeks.
“PSG were a little quicker and the project they had appealed to me.
“It was a tough decision because Barcelona were very interested in me.
“They’re two big clubs and you’d love to play for both but, in the end, I chose PSG. It was a relief to be able to make the decision before the tournament.”
