According to Don Balon, Manchester City could agree a deal with Barcelona for Jasper Cillessen, with manager Pep Guardiola planning a ‘last-minute signing’ before the summer transfer window closes. With Claudio Bravo having suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon on Monday, Cillessen could be a shrewd replacement as a backup to Ederson.
The Dutch international, who has made 40 appearances for his country, has struggled for playing time at Barca. Cillessen has played second fiddle to Marc-Andre ter Stegen between the sticks and could be open to a move away from the Nou Camp if he’s promised more opportunities.
