'I would be devastated' - Wijnaldum admits Liverpool exit will be hard as Anfield career draws to a close

Gini Wijnaldum admits he will be “devastated” to leave Liverpool, as he approaches the end of his five-year stay on Merseyside.

Wijnaldum’s Reds contract is due to expire at the end of the season, and at this point there is no sign of an extension being agreed.

The Dutchman remains an integral part of Jurgen Klopp’s team – no player has made more appearances in this campaign – but it appears increasingly likely that the 30-year-old will be allowed to leave on a free transfer in the summer.
