Georginio Wijnaldum's Barcelona move hits a snag with Ronald Koeman 'having to sell flop Miralem Pjanic to free up space BEFORE he can seal a deal for the Liverpool midfielder'

Barcelona will reportedly have to offload Miralem Pjanic before they can sign Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum.

The Dutch midfielder is believed to have his heart set on joining Barcelona this summer and will run down the final months of his Liverpool contract to seal a free transfer there.

Former Holland boss Ronald Koeman has made no secret of his admiration for the 30-year-old and has identified him as a key target to improve his midfield, but Wijnaldum may have to wait until Barcelona can trim their squad before signing for them.
