The La Liga side have long been chasing the Dutchman, while Thomas Tuchel’s side join Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain as new suitors for the former Newcastle United man.

Despite the player’s contract situation, Marca adds the Merseyside club have ‘not lost hope’ of retaining Wijnaldum beyond this season, by tying him down to a new deal.

Liverpool will need to hurry up as there’s not a lot of time left to extend the player’s contract.
