Highly rated Cillessen wants regular football with Barcelona set €30m asking price

After two seasons at the Camp Nou Jasper Cillessen realizes that it’s right time for him to leave Barcelona. The Dutch keeper earned the respect of everyone for his fine performances and professional attitude but he remained in the shadow of Marc – Andre ter Stegen. Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Napoli are just some of the names linked with a swoop for the goalkeeper but yet none of them has made a concrete offer to Barcelona. Anyway, his future appears to be in England with a Premier League side. Until now Barcelona was to demand the Dutchman’s €60m buyout clause but the club would now be willing to accept half of the sum, that is to say €30m. Arsenal have already secured the signing of German keeper Leno, while Milan confirmed the signing of Pepe Reina too. Liverpool are looking for a new number one following Karius' nightmare performance in the Champions League final and Cillessen has been linked with them. If Liverpool do make an offer for Cillessen, Barcelona would expect the negotiations to be tough, as the Camp Nou side hasn't forgotten about how difficult it was for them to sign Philippe Coutinho in January.
