Georginio Wijnaldum has once again put the ball in Liverpool’s court over his future and claimed there is “no news”.

The Liverpool midfielder, named by Gary Neville as the Premier League’s most under-rated player, is out of contract in the summer and could walk away for free.

Jurgen Klopp, who named the 30-year-old as Liverpool’s most consistent player this season, wants him to stay after his stellar contribution to their recent success.

The Merseysiders offered him a new deal back in December but he has yet to put pen to paper.

An agreement over wages and length of contract has yet to be found and the Netherlands international says it’s down to the club.

He spoke out on his contract situation after Liverpool’s defeat to Fulham on Sunday, insisting “the most important thing right now is that we fix things as a team”.

“If you’re a fan and you support the team – you support the player and what they do with me,” Wijnaldum told beIN Sports.

Inter ‘crazy’ about Gini

Barca boss Ronald Koeman admitted interest in the player last summer, but now according to Sport Mediaset journalist Sandro Sabatini, the Nerazzurri already have an agreement with the player.

Inter coach Antonio Conte, according to FC Inter News, is “crazy” about Wijnaldum. However, the club need to determine if the deal would work financially.

At present, Wijnaldum’s salary seems slightly out of reach given his demands of €10m per season. Even so, he seems open to the idea of playing for Inter.

Wijnaldum joined Liverpool from Newcastle United in the summer of 2016. Rarely injured, he has made 223 appearances in all competitions, scoring 22 goals, including 16 in the Premier League.
