Gini Wijnaldum looked to be bidding Anfield and Liverpool fans farewell when brought off the pitch in the second-half of Liverpool’s clash with Crystal Palace.
The Dutchman held up his arms in appreciation, before saluting all four corners of the stadium.
It feels somewhat strange to think that a player so pivotal to Jurgen Klopp’s setup is set to leave on a free this summer.
The No.5 has, whether some choose to accept it or not, been a critical part of the German’s trophy-winning squads, and is a player we’ll very much miss.
We bear no hard feelings towards the 30-year-old and wish him all the best. Wherever his career takes him, we’ll never forget how he helped the club return to its status as an elite European force.
