Special sources revealed to "Al-Midan" the real reason behind the stumbling of the agreement to finalize the renewal of its Dutch star Georginio Wijnaldum's contract, despite him entering the free agency period.

Sources stated on Thursday that the financial value of the contract represents the biggest obstacle for the management, given the high burdens the club is bearing during the current season.

The information indicated that the player's annual salary amounts to 9 million euros, which is equivalent to about three-quarters of the club's annual budget, making it complicated to continue under the same conditions.

The sources indicated that the management of the agreement cannot complete the renewal under the current terms, as it is unable to bear this amount without additional support.

She confirmed that the only solution for extending the contract is to keep the player's salary under the umbrella of the recruitment committee, as was the case in the previous agreement when signing with him.

The sources concluded their statement by emphasizing that Wijnaldum's future with the agreement will remain uncertain until the financial support mechanism is resolved, amid increasing interest in his position during the free period.
