5 players Barcelona may look to sell or loan out this transfer window

#3 Jasper Cillessen

Valverde wants Cillessen to stay but will he?

Cillessen is best remembered for his performances with the Dutch national team in the 2014 World Cup. He was an important part of the Dutch team that finished third in that very World Cup. A product of NEC, Cillessen played a major part of his club football with Ajax in the Eredivisie and it was in 2016 that he signed for Barcelona to replace Claudio Bravo, who was signing for Manchester City.

It is disappointing that since his move to Camp Nou, Cillissen has only been twice involved in the league matches as he was majorly seen playing in the Copa Del Rey. Cillessen is already 29 years old and with time running out, he would like to cement his place at a club where he gets to start regularly.

With Marc Andre Ter Stegen doing very well between the sticks for Barcelona, it seems very unlikely that Cillessen would have a chance to play more than often for Barcelona and it is best that both the player and the club part ways before the end of the transfer window.

Even though Ernesto Valverde has insisted that he wants two goalkeepers at his disposal, it will be difficult to convince the Dutchman with Chelsea already looking for a goalkeeper and having Cillessen as one of their targets.
