Liverpool keen on deal for Newcastle star Wijnaldum
Liverpool will have to pay at least £25million to sign Newcastle United midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum.
The Reds are ready to pursue a deal for the Holland international this week after being frustrated in their attempts to land Udinese's Piotr Zielinski , who is expected to join AC Milan.
However, the Championship outfit have made it clear that Wijnaldum won't be allowed to leave cheaply and want at least £25million.
Newcastle paid £14.5million to sign him from PSV Eindhoven a year ago and intend to make a significant profit on that investment.
Wijnaldum, who scored 11 goals last season, has attracted interest from a host of Premier League clubs including Tottenham and looks set to leave St James' Park.
Jurgen Klopp has been keen to bolster his midfield options all summer.
Trying to agree a deal with Udinese for Zielinski proved problematic, while fellow target Mahmoud Dahoud now looks likely to stay at Borussia Monchengladbach for the coming season.
