Money comes first! Wijnaldum dumps Barcelona and moves to PSG

The transfer battle for the former Liverpool player is coming to a successful end. For a long time, it looked like a move to the dream Barcelona. However, PSG stepped in at the last minute and offered him a far more lucrative contract. This was the decisive factor that convinced the player to move to Paris Saint Germain. The fat contract will secure him €8 million a year and a contract until 2024. This arrival should become official within the next week.

Gini Wijnaldum won almost everything he could at Liverpool. The Champions League, the European Super Cup, the Club World Cup and also the dream Premier League title. He spent the most unsuccessful part of his career at this club.

However, in the last few months he was lacking motivation and decided to change his career. His contract at the English club was coming to an end and there was a big fight for his services. Inter and the famous Barcelona were very interested.

For a long time it looked like Barcelona. The player himself was very interested in the Catalan club and also wanted to join forces with coach Koeman. The player was even agreed on the terms of the contract and the length of the contract. All that was left was to undergo a medical examination, sign the necessary formalities and he would become the new reinforcement of Barcelona.

But at the last moment, a twist came. Literally five minutes to twelve, French side PSG joined the battle for the player. And they pulled out some trump cards that even Barcelona couldn’t compete with. Coach Pochettino expressed a huge interest and had several phone calls with Wijnaldum.

However, the player was rather convinced by the very interesting financial offer from PSG. They offered the Dutchman twice what Barcelona did and the decision was made. Wijnaldum nodded to the more lucrative offer and will soon be a new PSG player.

He will become one of the highest paid players at the club and will sign a contract until 2024. Money moves the football world and this case is a clear proof of that.
