In all likelihood, Jasper Cillessen will be on the move shortly.
A swap deal with Neto from Valencia is almost complete, with the team from Mestalla paying Barca in the region of €30 million euros for the Dutchman’s services. I for one am sad to see him depart.
It’s completely understandable why he would want to go of course, but he was the best of understudies to Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
For goalkeepers, therein lies the problem.
If you’re an understudy to a player in any other position, the chances are you’ll get decent chances to impress thanks to a mixture of injury, poor form or coach’s choice.
