Spanish giants Barcelona thought they were in pole position to seal a deal for the Dutchman.
But Italian football journalist claims they have been usurped by the Ligue 1 club.
Wijnaldum has allegedly already penned his contract at PSG.
The star is believed to have committed his future to Mauricio Pochettino’s team until 2024.
He was set to undergo a medical on Monday evening and - if no problems arise - will see his transfer officially confirmed in the coming days.
Wijnaldum was heading to Barcelona before he changed his mind on Sunday and opted for PSG instead.
The LaLiga side had a medical planned for the ace, but the prospect of being paid DOUBLE in the French capital proved too hard to resist.
Barca have now turned their attention to signing another member of the Netherlands’ Euro 2020 squad.
