The Dutch midfielder was predictably asked about his future and a potential reunion with Koeman

Holland international  Georginio Wijnaldum hasn't confirmed or denied reports which are linking him with a move to Barça next season.

"They are only rumours. I can't say anything at the moment," he said with a smile on his face.

29-year-old Wijnaldum responded the same way when asked if he thought he could be an important player for Barça.

"I thought you were going to ask if I could be an important part of the Dutch team. If you ask me about the 'Orange', I can respond."

Barça want to pay between 15 and 20 million euros for him

Dutch outlets are reporting that Wijnaldum is negotiating a move to Barça right now and Liverpool are open to doing a deal.

He's expected to cost around €20m according to "De Telegraaf" and Algemeen Dagblad" in Holland.

Mixed feelings on Koeman's departure

Wijnaldum said there were mixed feelings in the Dutch squad over Koeman's decision to sign for Barcelona.

"The team is disappointed he's left but we're happy for him. We have to keep going forward," insists Wijnaldum who admits he will miss Koeman.
