The former Madrid midfielder doesn't think the French side were the right choice

Georginio Wijnaldum’s situation at Paris Saint-Germain is not what he hoped for. He decided to sign for the French club instead of Barcelona when his contract was up with Liverpool. However he’s played only 1792 minutes so far, across 32 matches. Roughly an hour per game. He’s not a regular starter for coach Mauricio Pochettino.

His Netherlands compatriot Rafa Van der Vaart says it was a mistake from Wijnaldum to go to Paris.

“Wijnaldum committed the error of choosing PSG. Now he will understand the important of knowing how to choose,” said the midfielder on Batavian TV.

He compared the decision negatively to Steven Berghuis choosing to move to Ajax from Feyenoord, which was a good move. “Choosing is so important,” added Van der Vaart.
