Inter Milan rival Barcelona for Liverpool midfielder Gini Wijnaldum

Inter Milan have joined interest in Liverpool midfielder Gini Wijnaldum.

Calciomercato.com says Inter Milan are ready to rival Barcelona as they both eye Liverpool's Wijnaldum.

The Dutchman was heavily linked with the Spanish side in the summer after Ronald Koeman, who was previously the Netherland boss, took charge.

They were unable to get a deal over the line however despite Wijnaldum's contract winding down at Anfield.

And now Inter are poised to join the chase with CEO Giuseppe Marotta adding Wijnaldum to his wishlist

Liverpool could receive an approach from the Italian side in weeks with the player no closer to signing a contract extension.

The Reds are prepared to give the Dutchman a bumper pay rise - up from £75,000-a-week to £105,000.
