Georginio Wijnaldum's situation at PSG
Georginio Wijnaldum left Liverpool to join forces with PSG during the summer transfer window. He joined the club as a free agent and signed a three-year contract at the Parc des Princes. However, that decision has backfired, with the Dutchman failing to secure a spot as a regular in the team.
Wijnaldum has made 20 appearances for PSG across all competitions so far this season. However, he has made only 10 starts. The midfielder has played the complete 90 minutes on just four occasions.
According to reports, the 31-year-old isn't happy with his situation in France and is considering a loan move back to the Premier League next summer. With a host of English clubs in the race for his signature, it remains to be seen where he'll end up plying his trade next season.
