While the 30-year-old was leaving the Kop, his former boss Jurgen Klopp showered praises on him which also left him with tearful eyes, but that doesn't justify his reason for leaving.

Last November, the midfielder was asked about his future with the Reds but he deflected the question and asked the media to ask the club board the same question as reported by Sport Bible and Liverpool.com.

However, who recently penned a three-year deal with his new club, the Dutchman was said to have opened up to Voetbal International via Sport Witness after his final game against Crystal Palace.

Wijnaldum plans to open up on why he left Liverpool

"There are many supporters who ask me why I didn't just accept the offer from Liverpool to extend my contract.

"But of course, it's not just that. It's about much more than that. There are things happening behind the scenes that you cannot influence as a player. I will explain that after the tournament because now only Orange [Netherlands] counts.

"It's really special. The fans have sung my name. Week in, week out, they saw I was giving 100% to give everything for this club.

"I'm fighting against tears right now. The people in Liverpool have shown me love during the five years. I will miss them, you know... We will see what I will do in the next couple of weeks. I will rest a little bit then go to the national team.
