[article]Liverpool are weighing up the possibility of letting midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum leave for free.
The Dutchman has 18 months left on his current deal at Anfield, but there has been no talk of an extension.
The Reds have handed out several new deals recently with Jurgen Klopp committing his long-term future to the club.
But Liverpool are yet to make a decision on Wijnaldum with several avenues being explored, reports the Athletic .
The Premier League leaders are open to the idea of offering the 29-year-old a new deal which could see him extend his stay on Merseyside.
Wijnaldum moved from Newcastle for £25m in 2016 and has been a huge part of their upward trajectory since then, so much so that Liverpool feel as if they've got value for money.
They would therefore be happy to retain his services until his contract runs out in the summer of 2021 and let him seek pastures new.
But the midfielder does have several admirers around the continent meaning a potential bidding war could ensue were Liverpool to put the player on the market this summer.
Despite his age he would likely command a fee exceeding the £25m it took to bring him to Anfield.
Wijnaldum has made 166 appearances for the Reds, but their willingness to sell is not to raise funds for potential new signings.
Liverpool have been linked with big money deals for either Jadon Sancho or Kylian Mbappe, but internally they do not feel like they have major gaps in their squad that need filling.
Klopp chose not to make any major need additions in the summer which has paid off with Liverpool clear at the top of the league.
The German may be forced to act if one of his leading lights leaves Anfield with Sadio Mane reportedly a target for Real Madrid .[/article]
