Georginio Wijnaldum: 'I turned down Paris Saint-Germain last summer'

PSV Eindhoven midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum says that he turned down Paris Saint-Germain last summer.

PSV Eindhoven midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum has revealed that he turned down the chance to join Paris Saint-Germain last summer.

The 24-year-old impressed for Netherlands at the 2014 World Cup, with his form in Brazil leading to suggestions that he would leave his home nation in the summer window.

However, Wijnaldum has said that he has "unfinished business" with his current club.

"Paris Saint-Germain were interested in signing me. They showed an interest when I was on a good run of form," Wijnaldum told Voetbal International.

"It was confirmation for me that I was on the right track, but my heart told me that I should stay at PSV and that I still had unfinished business here. PSV are a great club and I enjoy being here.

"I have little doubt that more clubs of PSG's stature will come knocking in the future. It simply didn't suit my plans for the future. I desperate want to win the Eredivisie title first."

The midfielder has a contract at PSV until June 2018.
