Barcelona manager Koeman yet to make approach for Liverpool midfielder Wijnaldum

Barcelona manager Ronald Koeman has yet to make an approach for Gini Wijnaldum, according to reports.

Koeman left his role as manager of the Netherlands this week to replace Quique Setien at the Camp Nou.

He is a big fan of Liverpool midfielder Wijnaldum, who thrived under his leadership when playing for the Netherlands, having scored seven goals in his last five matches for the Oranje.

But Sky Sports says Koeman has yet to make his plans clear about signing Wijnaldum.

The 29-year-old has one-year remaining on his current deal and it is unclear if talks over an extension have commenced.
