Erik ten Hag rejected this former Liverpool player this summer

It is no secret that Erik ten Hag’s number one priority this summer has been the signing of FC Barcelona midfielder Frenkie De Jong. Sadly, the club has not been able to close the deal after reaching an agreement with Barça over a month and a half ago. This is also because the player has rejected the possibility of leaving Spain.

While the Red Devils wait for the 25-year-old footballer to make up his mind, they have been on the lookout for several midfielders across Europe’s top five leagues. In the last few days, Adrien Rabiot has gotten closer to Old Trafford, and the interest in Sergej Milinković-Savić has increased. However, the new Manchester United manager has rejected other players that were offered to the team.

The chief reporter for Sky Sports, Kaveh Solhekol, reported today that Erik ten Hag turned down the chance of signing Georginio Wijnaldum this summer as Paris Saint-Germain was trying to sell him. Let’s remember the Dutch manager said that they will not go crazy in the last weeks of the transfer window as he only wanted the right players to arrive.

One of the best midfielders in the last five Premier League seasons

Georginio Wijnaldum landed in the Premier League in 2015 with Newcastle United, but he only played one season with the Magpies before transferring to Liverpool FC a year later. The Dutch midfielder was a crucial player in Jürgen Klopp’s team that won the Champions League and league title. Last summer, he signed for PSG, where after one terrible season has now been loaned out to Rome.
