Club fans have sent a message to Liverpool owners FSG following Gini Wijnaldum’s commanding performance over Wolves.
Jurgen Klopp’s men fell back tied on points with Tottenham atop the Premier League after a powerful display that marked the long-awaited return of fans to Anfield in great style.
Mohamed Salah opened the scoring in the first half before Wijnaldum doubled the lead with a sumptuous shot from outside the area just before the hour, with a header from Joel Matip and an own goal from Nelson Semedo to complete the scoring.
But it was the performance of Dutch midfielder Wijnaldum, who is out of contract in the summer and may negotiate with foreign clubs starting next month, that dominated much of the post-match chat.
The 30-year-old has started 10 of Liverpool’s 11 Premier League games so far this season, appearing in 18 of 19 games in all competitions, with his tireless energy and versatility again proving invaluable given the nature of the Reds’ injuries. Bell.
Jurgen Klopp revealed after the game that he expects Wijnaldum to sign a new contract, saying: “I hope so, to be honest. You can see that, he plays all the time. We have a pretty good relationship. I hope so.”
The man himself, who moved to Anfield from Newcastle United in 2016, was shy when asked similar questions.
He said: “I already said in my previous interview, I am not talking about the status of my contract, I am talking about the game,” he told Amazon Prime.
“The club talks about my contract.

“There is a connection, there was a connection from the first moment I came here, the fans supported me a lot, but it is not for me to talk about that.”
Paul Scholes on duty as television expert weighed in on the debate questioning why Wijnaldum would want to leave Liverpool for Barcelona when the Reds again appear to be serious contenders for great honors at home and abroad.
And Liverpool fans on Twitter channeled a famous quote from Scholes’ former Manchester United teammate Rio Ferdinand to show their feelings about it.
Ferdinand was memorably quoted after United’s dramatic late Champions League victory over PSG in March last year, when current manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was still in temporary charge by saying on television ‘Take out the contract, put it on the table. ‘ Let him sign it. ‘
And Reds fans urge the Anfield hierarchy to do the same.
Wijnaldum has played 204 games in all competitions for Liverpool since arriving for £ 25 million from Newcastle in the summer of 2016, scoring 20 goals and helping inspire the Reds to win the Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup, the World Cup and Premier League titles.
