After Georginio Wijnaldum’s last-minute decision to rebuff FC Barcelona, the Catalans are in search of a new midfielder. It is said that a lot of midfielders have been offered to the club, and one of the biggest names is Manchester United’s Donny van de Beek.
Van de Beek is a teammate of Wijnaldum’s from the Dutch national team and knows Ronald Koeman well. He also knows Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong from the national team and their time together at Ajax.
While that familiarity could help him at the Camp Nou, it is understood the Catalans are poised to reject the offer, even though Van de Beek wants to join.
