Mercato – PSG: Wijnaldum, a serious way out in England? – Soccer

Arriving last summer at Paris Saint-Germain, midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum had a difficult first part of the season. Despite his disappointing performances, the Dutchman retains a good rating of popularity in England, where Newcastle would like to recover.

Georginio Wijnaldum did not shine with PSG.

Georginio Wijnaldum has not yet been as high as the hopes placed in him. Recruited last summer at the end of his contract with Liverpool, the midfielder was considered an excellent prospect for Paris Saint-Germain.

Except that on this first part of the season, the Dutch international did not manage to adapt within the Ile-de-France collective and above all gives the impression of being totally lost in the system designed by coach Mauricio Pochettino.

Newcastle thinks it!

With only 3 goals and 1 decisive assist in 22 games in all competitions, Wijnaldum has yet to find his place at PSG. And indeed, his situation is of great interest in England. While Sky Sports assured in early December that the 31-year-old was likely to leave on loan this winter, Newcastle are seriously thinking of him, according to reports from the daily L’Equipe on Monday.

In great difficulty in the Premier League, the current 19th in the standings has significant resources after arriving at the head of the Saudi owners’ club and wishes to turn its workforce upside down during this transfer period. Former Magpies player (2015-2016), the Batavian has the advantage of knowing this team perfectly, but also the English championship in order to allow its rapid adaptation.

What position for PSG?

While this interest in a loan seems credible, Wijnaldum remains one of the many names associated with Newcastle for January for now. In addition, one can ask questions about the position of PSG on this issue. Despite his mixed performances, the native of Rotterdam still had an important playing time. And in the midfield, Pochettino will probably not want to lose any of his options during the season. Then does Paris really intend to give up so quickly with the Oranje? Finally, for his part, does Wijnaldum want to give up now with the club from the French capital? We can doubt it …
