Chelsea have been linked with Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum – and some Blues fans on Twitter have responded by claiming they don’t want him at Stamford Bridge.
According to Marca, Chelsea are one of numerous elite clubs vying for the 30-year-old’s signature this summer.
The report explains that Liverpool are still trying to keep the player whose deal expires at Anfield at the end of the season.
But there is interest from Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus in trying to snap him up on a free transfer.
Wijnaldum, who’s been with Liverpool since 2016, has played an important role in winning both the Premier League and Champions League with the Merseyside giants.
The Dutchman is an all-action central midfielder that’s renowned for his engine. He’s still got incredible stamina all round the pitch, and can pop up with a few goals a season.
The £70,000-a-week (Spotrac) midfielder turns 31 later this year, which is perhaps why there are some reservations from a selection of Chelsea supporters on social media.
Others suggest that he’s not got enough quality to get in the Blues XI.
Chelsea currently have N’Golo Kante, Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic as the central midfield options, as well as super young talent Billy Gilmour as the fourth-choice option for manager Thomas Tuchel.
