PARIS SAINT GERMAIN ANNOUNCE THE SIGNING OF DUTCH MIDFIELDER, GEORGINIO WIJNALDUM

French club, Paris Saint-Germain have announced the signing of Dutch international midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum from Liverpool on a three-year deal.

30 years old Wijnaldum is a free agent with his contract at Anfield expiring at the end of this month, meaning there will be no transfer fee involved.

Barcelona had been keen to sign the Dutch who has had his time with Feyenoord, PSV Eindhoven and Newcastle United and are understood to have been close to completing a deal before PSG persuaded him to move to the Parc des Princes instead.

Wijnaldum spent the last five seasons at Liverpool and was a key player in the side that won the Champions League in 2019 and the Premier League title last year.

He is PSG’s first signing since they missed out on the Ligue 1 title last month to Lille.
