Barca sign Cillessen

Barcelona have completed the signing of Dutch international goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen from Ajax, the Spanish champions confirmed on Thursday.

In a statement on their official website the Catalans confirmed they had signed the 27-year-old on a five-year contract for a fee of 13 million euros (£11.1 million, $14.7 million), rising to a potential 15 million euros.

Barca said Cillessen flew to Spain on Thursday morning to undergo a medical and would be officially unveiled on Friday.

Cillessen made a farewell appearance for Ajax on Wednesday in their 4-1 Champions League play-off defeat to Rostov in Russia.

His arrival clears the way for Chilean goalkeeper Claudio Bravo to leave the Camp Nou for Manchester City.
