Barcelona confirm Jasper Cillessen arrival from Ajax

Barcelona confirm that Ajax goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen has joined the club in a €13m (£11m) deal.

Barcelona have confirmed the arrival of goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen from Ajax on a five-year contract.

The 27-year-old goalkeeper has been tracked by the Spanish giants for some time, and now the Dutchman has sealed a switch to Camp Nou.

The five-time European champions have revealed that they agreed a deal worth €13m (£11m) plus €2m (£1.7m) in add-ons to seal the signature of Cillessen, who has had a €60m (£51.3m) buyout clause written into his contract.

The keeper's arrival is expected to speed up Claudio Bravo's exit as the Chile international is on the verge of joining Pep Guardiola's Manchester City team, which has in turn poured doubt over Joe Hart's future.

Today, Cillessen tweeted a picture of himself in Barcelona colours, with the message: "Dreams do come true."

Cillessen spent five years playing for Ajax after joining the Eredivisie club from NEC in 2011.
