Barcelona chiefs are convinced they can sign Liverpool midfielder Gini Wijnaldum on the cheap.

New Barca coach Ronald Koeman has made a personal request for Wijnaldum's signing and there's a confidence a deal can be done.

The Holland international is inside the final year of his current deal and talks over a new contract are yet to seriously kickoff.

Barca are confident an offer of €10-15m will be enough for Liverpool to sell, knowing Wijnaldum can sign a pre-contract in January and leave for nothing in a year's time.

At Barca, Wijnaldum would arrive to replace Ivan Rakitic and Arturo Vidal, who are both up for sale.
