According to Mundo Deportivo, Georginio Wijnaldum would be one of the options considered to replace Héctor Herrera at Atlético Madrid. The Madrid leaders would however expect a complicated file, because of the Dutchman’s salary, the will of the Parisian leaders and the competition from English clubs.
One week before the match between PSG and Real Madrid, transfer rumors are still making headlines in Spanish newspapers, but not only for Kylian Mbappé. Indeed, according to Mundo Deportivo journalist Javier G. Gomara, generally well informed about Atletico Madrid, Georginio Wijnaldum would be one of the players on the list of Madrid leaders to replace Héctor Herrera in the summer of 2022. Out of contract next June, the Mexican midfielder should sign with the Houston Dynamo club in MLS.
With this in mind, Atlético Madrid would therefore be attentive to the situation of the 31-year-old midfielder, author of more than average performances since the start of the season with PSG. If the Dutch international had also expressed in the press his dissatisfaction with his playing time in the French capital, he had reconsidered his remarks in the official magazine of PSG not long ago, affirming that he was well in Paris. .
In this case, the leaders of the Rojiblancos would see three obstacles to the arrival of Georginio Wijnaldum at home: the Parisian’s salary, estimated at 10 M€ gross annually, the will of their Parisian counterparts and the competition of several clubs on this case. Last winter, several English clubs like Newcastle or Arsenal had also shown their interest in the Dutchman, without it going any further. In the meantime, the Parisian midfielder will certainly be keen to finally start his season with PSG in the next matches.
