Jasper Cillessen out, Wuilker Faríñez in at Barcelona?

The goalkeeping situation at Barcelona is attracting plenty of headlines as we head towards the end of the season and the opening of the transfer window.

There’s no chance of first choice Marc-Andre ter Stegen going anywhere, but back-up Jasper Cillessen is expected to leave in search of regular game time.

He’s been linked with a move to Portuguese side Benfica, but the latest reports from Portugal suggest his price may be a problem.

Cillessen has a release clause of €60m in his current contract, and while Barcelona are said to be willing to accept €25m, Benfica are not able to go that high.
