FC Barcelona’s surprising move for Jasper Cillessen

In the summer of 2019, it was expected that Jasper Cillessen would leave FC Barcelona because he wanted more playing time. However, he surprised everyone by joining Valencia, while Barcelona signed Neto for the same amount in a lightning-quick operation that caught many off guard.

But bad luck struck the Brazilian, who got injured shortly after arriving. He also knew that he was coming in as Marc-André Ter Stegen's clear backup. The German goalkeeper has even improved his already high level this season and has played in all 19 official matches.

Due to the Super Cup moving to January and the changes in the Copa del Rey, which is the competition that the former Juventus player will participate in, he won't make his club debut until January since they are exempt from the early rounds. Additionally, as these rounds are played as single matches, he will have fewer opportunities.

He has already proven his quality in his previous clubs, but it's evident that there is a desire to see him in a Barcelona shirt. The already inconsequential match this Tuesday in Milan offers a great opportunity.
