# Liverpool: Reports of Bayern offer for Georginio Wijnaldum rebuffed

**Georginio Wijnaldum’s agent spread baseless reports that the 30-year-old had received a contract offer from Bayern Munich, [FCB Inside](https://fcbinside.de/2021/05/14/bericht-georginio-wijnaldum-ist-kein-thema-beim-fc-bayern/) have claimed.**

### The lowdown

Wijnaldum is rapidly nearing the end of his [£90,000-per-week](https://www.spotrac.com/epl/liverpool-fc/payroll/) Liverpool contract and is currently set to depart Anfield on a free transfer this summer.

The Dutch midfielder [has won](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/georginio-wijnaldum/erfolge/spieler/49499) the Premier League, Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup during his time at Liverpool, but he has been free to sign a pre-contract agreement with another club since January.

Barcelona manager Ronald Koeman, formerly his national team boss for Netherlands, is [said to be keen](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11669/12174099/georginio-wijnaldum-liverpool-midfielder-to-decide-on-new-deal-as-barcelona-wait) on a reunion with Wijnaldum at the Camp Nou, but [it was reported](https://www.anfieldcentral.co.uk/posts/julian-nagelsmann-wants-georginio-wijnaldum-at-liverpool/) at the end of last month that Bayern would compete for his signature. Julian Nagelsmann, who [will be in charge](https://www.anfieldcentral.co.uk/posts/julian-nagelsmann-wants-georginio-wijnaldum-at-liverpool/) at the Allianz Arena next season, was [described](https://www.anfieldcentral.co.uk/posts/julian-nagelsmann-wants-georginio-wijnaldum-at-liverpool/) as a ‘huge fan’ of the 30-year-old.

### The latest

[FCB Inside](https://fcbinside.de/2021/05/14/bericht-georginio-wijnaldum-ist-kein-thema-beim-fc-bayern/) claimed that Humphry Nijman, Wijnaldum’s representative, told the press that Bayern had offered his client a three-year deal.

However, it then emerged the Bayern hierarchy ‘seem to have no interest in a commitment’ for the 30-year-old, with [the report stating](https://fcbinside.de/2021/05/14/bericht-georginio-wijnaldum-ist-kein-thema-beim-fc-bayern/) that Nijman had been spreading rumours about a contract offer from Munich, only for the club’s future CEO Oliver Kahn to shut those down.

### The verdict

If the claim is true, then it’s not particularly surprising. It could merely be a ploy from Nijman to extract a better offer from another of Wijnaldum’s suitors.

The player’s disagreement with Liverpool is [said to be financial](https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy50cmFuc2lzdG9yLmZtL3JlZHMtdW5yZXN0cmljdGVk/episode/ZTYzOWI1MGMtMjc1ZC00Nzg4LTliMjAtNTA1NWExNDMzYWVi?sa=X&ved=0CAQQkfYCahcKEwiY9Lz1r8vwAhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQAQ), with their offers failing to reflect his perceived value to the team, but it may be difficult to persuade other clubs to commit to a sizeable multi-year deal when Wijnaldum will turn 31 before the year is out.
