Yep, like Seedorf.
Playing games, he is.
Many of the greatest Dutch players switched between several "big" teams in their career – like Seedorf who played for Ajax, Madrid and both Milan teams. Wouldn't be surprised to see Gini move on to another project; hopefully that doesn't affect Van Dijk.
He looks relaxed and get well on with his games. That is all I need from him at the moment. Being such an integral and important part of our squad would of course mean it is a big deal to see him walk away. But he has given everything and more, so whatever comes for him in life I would applaud him.
I am not sure he is the galactico Real look for though. Reaching the 30's and not a big name player like Gerrard would have been I am not sure he is what they look for. They probably look to offload Kroos and Modric and will replace them with the Odegaards and other younger players. Also Barcelona need a renewal so they need to bread in younger players. Italy could of course be a destination and he would be an absolute monster there, but the main clubs would be Inter or Juve and their midfields are now so full that they probably have players not even making their 11 man strong bench.
Having said that I think he is a player all these clubs would need a role modell as Gini, but my guess is that he will pen a 2-3 year extention to his current deal.

It's a money issue.
How do you know?
I think we are in a position where a lot of players want to come our way if given the chance, hence I would be surprised if Gini left just due to money.
Come on, he's at about half of what Oxlade makes...
How do you know?
Just going by the numbers posted here and elsewhere.
Ah... that stuff didn't seem accurate.
I can't imagine we won't offer him market rates to try and keep him - who is going to pay mad money for Gini? Inter perhaps?
I guess if he's only after one last pay day then he's better off going on a free somewhere the following summer.

Oh someone will pay. Especially if he's free. He's very highly rated in Europe.
It's not about last year. It is about the next year.
I he is going, I'd be highly tempted to make overtures to Leicester for Ndidi. 23 and the boy is ready for the big time.

Leicester sold Harry Maguire for 80m six months ago.
They will ask the same for N'Didi
Can't see him being that much. English premium with Maguire, and new contract.
No one holds and protects the ball like Gini.
Gini taught them well 🙂
We have bought midfielders for £138M since we bought Gini, and he still is in the first XI. Replaceable? Not so sure about that.
Ox and Shaq who would play if they were better than him
They weren't bought to do the same role, though
