Gini Wijnaldum WILL walk out on Liverpool at the end of this season.

The Mirror says Wijnaldum will snub Liverpool's last-ditch efforts to keep him at the club – to fulfil a boyhood dream with Barcelona.

The future of the Dutch international has been up in the air as his contract nears expiry and his switch to Catalonia will happen at the end of the season.

Dutch sources confirmed his stance, saying: “Barcelona has always been a big draw for him.

"It's a similar situation to when Gareth Bale left Tottenham for Real Madrid in that it is his ultimate destination."

The Reds are anxious to keep a man who was an integral part of their title-winning triumph last term.

But they themselves strengthened during the last transfer window, bringing in Thiago Alcantara as insurance should Wijnaldum not commit his future to the Merseysiders.
