Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum is determined to make his dream come true for Barcelona this summer, as he probably wants to play alongside superstar Lionel Messi and transfer the Memphis Depay goal.
The 30-year-old’s contract expires in the summer, and with no sign of an extension on the horizon at Anfield, he looks set to go in search of new pastures next season. He has long been linked with a move to Camp Nou, and that deal seems to be getting closer.

According to The Mirror, Wijnaldum is focused on landing the dream movement to Barça, and his desire has only grown with the expectation of lining up with talisman Messi and potential newcomer Depay.
Messi’s own future has also been regularly questioned, and his contract expires at the end of the season. But the Argentine seems to be enjoying his football again, and along with the arrival of the new president Joan Laporta, Barça are now convinced that they can convince him to put pen to paper in Catalonia.
And if it’s not enough with the world’s best players undertaking the matter, Wijnaldum is also happy to join compatriot Depay next year. The 27-year-old has been tipped off to complete a free transfer to Camp Nou in the summer, after leaving Lyon in January.

Depay is ready to leave Ligue 1 at the end of the season, and given his strong relationship with Barça coach Ronald Koeman, he is expected to land his own dream move to the Spanish giants. All this good news has lost the scale for Wijnaldum, who is desperate to be part of the mini-revolution going on in Barcelona.
It had been suggested that he consider extending his stay in Liverpool, with Barça’s serious financial situation jeopardizing his free transfer. But he is determined to open a new chapter in his career and reunite with old friends Koeman and Depay during the process.
The newly crowned Copa del Rey champions are also willing to offer him a three-year contract at Camp Nou, something the Reds are not prepared to do.
