Only a few hours have passed since Ronald Koeman was introduced as the new manager of the Barcelona so that the first name that supposedly the Dutchman has in mind to reinforce the Blaugrana squad emerged. It’s about your compatriot Georginio Wijnaldum, Liverpool mixed midfielder, which could inevitably also involve the fate of Arturo Vidal in the club.

First reinforcement
Wijnaldum, recent champion of the Premier League with the English box, the contract will end on June 30, 2021 and did not agree to renew. Therefore, his departure would not have a great cost for Barcelona’s finances, since next January he could negotiate as a free player. Faced with this scenario, in Europe Clubs usually end up facilitating the early departure of the player to recover part of the investment made with his arrival.
The information was published by the newspaper AD from Holland and quickly generated repercussions both in Spain like in England. The Dutch media outlets elaborated on that Koeman, who is close to Wijnaldum due to their coexistence in the Dutch national team, go behind the wheel as the pillar of the football revival that he hopes to achieve with the new squad of the Catalan cast.

Position match
The possible signing would directly concern Vidal, of whom there is still no pronouncement in the Barcelona about your future. The Chilean has one more year left on his contract, but as in the case of Wijnaldum also the club culé can authorize an early exit to rescue part of the investment that meant his arrival from Bayern Munich, in 2018.
The native position of the Dutchman is that of a mixed right midfielder, although he can also act for the left sector, as Vidal does. He was one of the important players in the last two great achievements of the Liverpool, winning the title of Champions League from last season and also the recent Premier League. Furthermore, under Koeman’s direction his presence was fixed in the Holland national team.
