Liverpool have reportedly made progress in their bid to agree fresh terms with Georginio Wijnaldum.

With the Netherlands international having just a year left on his contract, speculation persists regarding a future exit from Anfield.

Aware that the 29-year-old may be available for a cut-price fee, Barcelona are said to be monitoring the situation ahead of a potential approach.

However, according to The Guardian, the playmaker and club officials have held positive talks regarding a new deal.

The report suggests that Wijnaldum is now more likely to extend his stay on Merseyside, rather than look to take on a new challenge elsewhere.

The former Newcastle United man has made 36 appearances in the Premier League and Champions League this season, scoring five goals.
