"Has a big sense of the space, can arrive to the goal fantastically well from the centre of the field, really could contribute something to the team", said in key of future, regretting that in summer "the economic situation was known by the club, his position finally had less priority that, for example, the right side or the position of forward".

Wijnaldum, a very versatile midfield player

The FC Barcelona fixed in this midfield player of 29 years by the big experience purchased after a dilated career in which his provision have gone of less to more, with a big progression. In his starts, was a player of three chambers of field upwards, playing like mediapunta or extreme. With the years, his game went diversifying and now is a midfield player todoterreno effective in a lot of facets of the game.

Georginio Wijnaldum Is a footballer that has presence in the two areas, with a deployment that allows him help defensivamente but also arrive to the finish in offensive zone. Physically it is a portento, but also stands out technically so much by his good driving as by his reliability in the construction of the game. Without place to doubts, his arrival would contribute robustness and versatility to the centre of the field of the FC Barcelona.
