Liverpool conquered English top-flight football in scintillating fashion. There wasn’t a competitor in their vicinity.
The added Premier League to their FIFA Club World Cup and UEFA Champions League honors. Jurgen Klopp has transformed under his tutelage.
The trophies have been added thanks to a core group of mercurial talents, with fringe doing their part. Georginio Wijnaldum is one of those players, looking on from the outside.
The Dutch midfielder’s contract runs out next June and Liverpool have a tough task on their hands. Barcelona want him at Camp Nou as Ronald Koeman prioritizes his arrival.
Former Liverpool midfielder, Don Hutchinson believes Liverpool should keep their core and Wijnaldum is part of that group.
“I think people are probably looking at Liverpool and thinking ‘If it’s not broke, don’t fix it’, because they have been sensational,” Hutchison told ESPN FC.
“The worry is, Gini Wijnaldum’s going into the last year of his contract and he’s been linked with Barcelona and maybe working with Ronald Koeman again.”
Hutchinson only has praises for Liverpool linked Thiago Alcantara. He pointed towards his pedigree from the center of the pitch and believes his addition would help everyone at Anfield.
“I think that’s the problem but when you look at what Thiago’s been doing for Bayern, not just in the Champions League that we’ve seen in the last couple of weeks but in the many years he’s been there, he is just a ridiculous talent.
“He plays the game at his own tempo, his own speed, his range of pass is good, he can keep it simple.
“If the full-backs are bombing forward he can standstill, he can pick up that little pocket to protect his center-halves if they ever need protection, and his long-range of passing is ridiculous as well.
