I'm not nervous about him walking because he didn't get lots of shiny new toys in January.
All the talk of him demanding 3+ players is BS made up by the media. He's realistic enough to know that there aren't 3+ player in the world that improve us now that we can get....now.

To improve us won’t take a world’s best in his position, I could improve us as a right back / right wing back. Hence the Traore rumours

i look forward to in the summer, hearing if we had only had got top 4 we could be signing quality. Unfortunately we came up just short so we have less money and are less attractive without CL football.
This scenario has been repeated more times than Only fools and horses on UK gold. We can safely expect Rolls Royce prices for a Robin Reliant 3 wheeler next season.

Like, he's a very talented player, but there's definitely a question over his ambition, drive etc. Nice wage, Paris lifestyle, no real desire to leave PSG and get his career back on track the last few years. He'd offer more ability with the ball than anybody we have in the midfield three of a 3-5-2... but it's a risky move and I'd have doubts about him.

Wijnaldum.. is not the player he was.. he's still probably good enough to be better than what we have in midfield, but I don't see him playing midfield in a 3-4-3.

Actually Wijnaldum is perfect in a box to box role, he's technically good enough, good defensively and has unbelievable stamina, in fact he is a typical Conte player in that sense.

It would be a brilliant signing if we got it over the line because he's Prem ready and won't need to adapt.

6month Wijnaldum loan helps us a bit, more than Ndombele, Lo Celso or Dele do anyway... .. I do not know what Draxler offers a team nowadays, reserve judgement.

I've loved watching Wijnaldum over the years but he's not as mobile or fit as he was. Think he'd be a good 6 month loan and could maybe be better in Conte's system than he has been for PSG or Holland .. but he's fairly poor when I've seen him the last while. He'd be good to help us retain possession, but he doesn't have great passing range or forward passing, which our midfield is desperately in need of.

I think you will find that is not my job, nor I assume it is yours . Of course I can‘t rattle off who is available on frees or have only 18 months left on their contracts, I am not an anorak or a scout or DOF . We do have people who are well remunerated to know such things, more importantly to get it over the line.
What is clear is the tighter your budget the less availability there will be, at least that seems logical to me.
