“I didn’t feel like the club wanted to keep me” – Georginio Wijnaldum opened on leaving Liverpool

Georginio Wijnaldum has expressed regret over leaving Liverpool believing the Anfield club didn’t want to keep him.

The 30-year-old Wijnaldum ran out of Merseyside at the end of the summer and the Dutchman moved on afterwards Paris Saint-Germain with free transfers.

Originally brought in from Newcastle in 2016 for £ 23million, Wijnaldum was the heartbeat of Jurgen Klopp’s midfield for five years as the Reds won the Champions League and sealed their first Premier League title.

The impeccable midfielder’s dynamism and athleticism embody the high-octane style of Klopp’s system, and these qualities are sorely missed when Manchester City are out to vie for the Premier League trophy.

Since joining PSG, Wijnaldum has moved in midfield, while Mauricio Pochettino is looking for a formula for success in his top-class squad, which also included Achraf Hakimi, Sergio Ramos, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Nuno Mendes and of course Lionel Messi in the summer.

Wijnaldum has now opened up after leaving Liverpool and pointed out that he never wanted to leave the club, but had the impression from the makers and makers that he was no longer wanted.

“You follow your feeling,” he said The team. “A few months ago I said I wanted to stay at Liverpool, but without going into details, Liverpool didn’t make me feel like they wanted to keep me.

“In these cases we have to move forward.”

Liverpool midfield without Wijnaldum

Klopp’s famous midfield trident was held together as progressive # 8 by the sturdiness of Wijnaldum, but the German fixed his departure in those first few weeks by testing four different combinations in four separate games.

James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita got the ball rolling in a very experimental midfield trio in the 3-0 win over Norwich, while Harvey Elliott made his first start against Burnley alongside Jordan Henderson while Keita was retained.

In the 1-1 draw against Chelsea Klopp then went with a Fabinho-Henderson-Elliott triumvirate and most recently Fabinho-Thiago-Elliott, the latter of course winning after a lunge challenge from Pascal Struijk in Leeds, and the teenager is now ready to go under the knife walk.

So it is not yet clear what Klopp’s preferred midfield combination is, but we should get a clearer clue in the next week when Liverpool tee off their Champions League season against AC Milan and then take on a formidable Crystal Palace at home.
