New Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman is eyeing a raid on Liverpool this summer.

Koeman, formerly manager of Everton, was named new coach of Barca yesterday.

And AD says one of his first transfer requests of his board is a push for Liverpool midfielder Gini Wijnaldum.

Wojnaldum was a first-choice for Koeman's Holland team and the pair have developed a strong relationship.

Knowing the midfielder is frustrated by the lack of progress over new contract talks at Liverpool, Koeman sees an opportunity to tempt Wijnaldum to Spain for the new season.

Wijnaldum, 29, has less than 12 months to run on his current Reds deal.
