Barcelona and Bayern Munich battling it out for departing Liverpool star Wijnaldum

Barcelona and Bayern Munich are both interested in Liverpool midfielder Gini Wijnaldum.

The Dutch international is leaving Liverpool on a free transfer this summer.

Speaking after the final game of the season on Sunday, Wijnaldum confirmed he was seeking a 'new adventure' after five years at Anfield.

And Sky Sports says two European giants are vying for his signature.

Wijnaldum has been linked with Barca ever since Ronald Koeman took over as manager.

Koeman and Wijnaldum worked together in the Netherlands national team prior to the former's appointment at Camp Nou.
