Barcelona are to set to lose out on the chance tio sign former Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum.
The Catalans have long been linked with the Dutchman, who has now left Liverpool on a free transfer when his contract came to an end, after being unable to agree an extension with the 30-year old.
It was widely expected that he would be heading to Barcelona, and a link-up with his former ational team boss Ronald Koeman.
