Barcelona & Palace Involved in Potentially Bizarre Transfer Situation as Catalans Eye Goalkeeper

Transfer windows usually generate some strange stories, and even Barcelona are not exempt from this. The Spanish giants are reportedly involved in a very peculiar transfer saga, but this one seems to have some solid foundations.

Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo have reported that Barcelona are interested in Getafe goalkeeper Vicente Guaita should they need to replace Jasper Cillessen - who is rumoured to be leaving the club this summer.

However, signing Guaita would not be straightforward for Barcelona, as the goalkeeper has signed a pre-contract agreement with Premier League team Crystal Palace to join them next month as his contract with Getafe expires.
