Wijnaldum not ruling out new contract with Liverpool: But I can't say

Georginio Wijnaldum isn't ruling out signing a new contract with Liverpool.

Wijnaldum's contract expires at the end of the season and he is yet to sign an extension, sparking fans' fears he could move on a free transfer in the summer.

But the 70-cap international has insisted fixing on-pitch matters after the Reds' sixth straight loss, in a 1-0 defeat against Fulham, is more of a priority for him at the moment.

He told beIN Sports: "If you're a fan and you support the team - you support the player and what they do with me.

"You want to hear what's going to happen but on the other side, for me, if there's nothing to say and no news I cannot say something. I hope they can understand that and I hope they will stay patient until there's news.

"The most important thing right now is that we fix things in the game as a team and we get results.

"Talking about an individual, in this case about me and my contract situation - because I just said there's no news, I think we can focus on better things than on my situation. When there is news, we will bring it out."
