Barcelona are reportedly considering a move for ex-player Thiago Alcantara this summer, but new boss Ronald Koeman prefers a pursuit of Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum. Barcelona have already brought in Miralem Pjanic from Juventus, in exchange for Arthur, but are seeking further reinforcements in midfield. Wijnaldum, 29, worked under head coach Koeman with the Holland national team from 2018-2020. Both players are options for the Catalans though, with Koeman planning a first-team overhaul this summer following the European humiliation against Bayern last month. Meanwhile, Thiago - who is currently on international duty - refused to comment on speculation linking him with a move away.
