Barcelona confirm Cillessen arrival

 

Barcelona have announced they have completed the transfer of Jasper Cillessen from Ajax for €13m (£11.2m).

 

With Claudio Bravo on the verge of joining Manchester City, Barcelona have been forced to sign a replacement goalkeeper before the transfer window shuts next week.

 

Luis Enrique’s side had been linked with a move for Valencia shot stopper Diego Alves but have instead signed Cillessen on a five-year deal, which includes a €60m (£51.3m) buy-out clause.
