Mini bio
How it started.
Raised in Rotterdam, Gini credits his grandmother with taking him to a Sparta Rotterdam talent day at six and supporting his early football. He later joined Feyenoord’s youth setup and made his first-team debut against Groningen on 8 April 2007, aged 16.
Finding his place.
He captained PSV to the 2014/15 Dutch league title, then moved to Newcastle United in 2015 and Liverpool in 2016. At Anfield, his two goals against Barcelona helped turn a 3-0 first-leg deficit into a place in the 2019 Champions League final. Liverpool won that trophy and the following season’s Premier League title.
The next chapters.
After spells with Paris Saint-Germain and Roma, he joined Al Ettifaq in 2023 and became captain. In September 2026 he moved to Al Ittihad. Away from matches, he enjoys photography, especially taking portraits of his family.
