Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp insists Georginio Wijnaldum’s ongoing contract issue has had no impact on their relationship and he remains optimistic about the midfielder’s future.

The Holland international is out of contract next summer, which means he can begin negotiating with overseas clubs from January 1, and talks about extending his stay at Anfield have hit an impasse despite Klopp clearly wanting him to stay.
