Liverpool will find someone better if Wijnaldum doesn't lower contract expectations, says Barnes

An ex-Reds star does not wish to see the Dutchman leave, but thinks he can be replaced if a final agreement over a new deal is not reached

Liverpool will "find someone of better value" if Georginio Wijnaldum doesn't lower his contract expectations, says John Barnes.

Wijnaldum has taken his career to another level since swapping Newcastle for Liverpool in the summer of 2016.

The Netherlands international was handed a five-year contract at Anfield, and soon rewarded the club for that show of faith with his performances.

Liverpool have gradually established themselves as an elite force again over the past four seasons, with Wijnaldum racking up 187 appearances in all competitions during that period, scoring 19 goals.
