Liverpool fans are convinced Georginio Wijnaldum is on his way out after the confirmed signing of Fabinho on Monday night.
The Merseyside giants secured the capture of midfield anchorman Fabinho from Monaco in a deal reportedly worth £43.6million including performance-related add-ons.
The 24-year-old is set to compete for a starting spot next season along with fellow new signing Naby Keita as Jurgen Klopp reshapes his midfield following the weekend Champions League defeat.
The two captures will have a significant effect on the futures of current midfielders Wijnaldum, Jordan Henderson, James Milner, Adam Lallana and the injured Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Wijnaldum started the Champions League final and has been a mainstay of the team since joining from Newcastle United for £25million in the summer of 2016.
But a section of Liverpool supporters believe the Dutchman, who stats site Spotrac claim earns £75,000-a-week, is heading for the exit door following the capture of Fabinho in the last 24 hours.
Live 4 Liverpool has rounded up some of the best tweets:
Thanks Wijnaldum :’)
You did the best you can. Your first away goal at Roma in the Champions League would always be remembered.#LFC— Aditya Srivastava (@aditya_twister) May 29, 2018
If Fekir signs for #lfc then that means all 3 current midfielders aren’t needed – wijnaldum as Milner could be great signings for mid table or promoted sides. Ox and Henderson as back up for Liverpool

Assuming Fabinho, Keita and Oxlade-Chamberlain become the first-choice trio for Klopp next season. Can leaving for Juventus, but Henderson and Milner will have roles.
Doesn’t bode well for Wijnaldum who will likely see his minutes drastically cut #LFC

Cant help but wonder what these signings/rumours mean for Hendo, Milner, Lallana and Gini?! Surely they won’t stick around forever. #LFC #Fabinho #Keita #Fekir

Also please sell Wijnaldum. He can only do a bit of everything and not that well, he’s just taking up space and money

We would probably sell two off Lallana, Milner and Wijnaldum

With fabinho and keita , alongside henderson , it shows a great 3 man midfield for liverpool
Now get rid of lallana and wijnaldum , we already have grujic , ox and milner with çan gone
World class GK , a good defender along side VVD and an attacking player is all we need— Ayat (@PersianAyat) May 28, 2018
