Reds one of three clubs interested in Barcelona’s Cillessen

Liverpool are interested in a summer move for Barcelona ‘keeper Jasper Cillessen, according to reports.

Sport Witness, who cite Mundo Deportivo are reporting that the Reds will face stiff competition from Napoli and Atletico Madrid for the stopper, who is under contract at the Camp Nou until 2021.

Napoli are looking to replace former Reds ‘keeper Pepe Reina, while Atletico could be on the lookout for a replacement for Jan Oblak, who is also reportedly courting interest from Europe’s elite.

Cillessen has very much been back-up to Marc-Andre ter Stegen since his move to the Catalan giants in 2016.

Liverpool’s goalkeeping struggles have been well documented for a long time now, despite Jurgen Klopp opting to play with Loris Karius in recent times.

He faces competition from Simon Mignolet, who has been at the club since 2013.

If Cillessen does make the move to Anfield, he will certainly be looking for more game time than he’s seeing in Spain at the moment.
