Barcelona Boss Ernesto Valverde Expects Goalkeeper to Remain at Nou Camp Amid Transfer Talk
Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde has offered his own opinion on the future of goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen, saying that the club fully expect the Dutchman to remain at the club this summer. Cillessen has made just two appearances in La Liga since completing a move to the Catalan giants from Ajax in 2016, with the 29-year-old utilised as little more than a backup to first-choice Marc-Andre Ter Stegen.

Speaking to Barcelona's official website , Valverde said: “I can’t imagine any other situation than him being here. He’s a player we are expecting to have. He’s a great goalkeeper and a great professional.” The Dutch goalkeeper made a name for himself in the Eredivisie playing for Ajax, where he made over 100 appearances in five years at the Amsterdam club.
