Barcelona president Laporta convinced about going for Liverpool midfielder Wijnaldum

Barcelona are ready to revive their plans for Liverpool midfielder Gini Wijnaldum.

Off contract in June, Wijnaldum has attracted enquiries from Barca in the past two transfer windows and remains a target for coach Ronald Koeman.

Koeman has been able to convince new Barca president Joan Laporta to revive Bosman talks with Wijnaldum's camp.

Brazilian journalist Mario Bechler reports Laporta is ready to press on with finding an agreement with the Holland international.

Indeed, he's decided to go for Wijnaldum ahead of coughing up a fee to buy Gerson from Flamengo.
