Barca name their price for Liverpool target
Barcelona have named their price for Jasper Cillessen as interest from England increases.
Cillessen is being monitored by Chelsea and Liverpool this summer.
Cillessen has a £53.1m (€60m) release clause in his contract but Barcelona are hoping to bring in around half of that, according to SPORT.
The Dutchman, 29, has played back up for Marc-Andre ter Stegen for the past two seasons but wants to move on for first team games.
A move to the Premier League would suit but there are also interested parties in Italy.
Chelsea are waiting for Madrid to make their move for Courtois before moving for a replacement.
But they are also looking at Alisson Becker at Roma and Leicester’s Kasper Schmeichel.
Liverpool also wanted Alisson and have looked at Jan Oblak but baulked at the fees for them, so Cillsessen is on their radar.
A deal with Liverpool however would be complicated due to the sale of Philippe Coutinho.
SPORT claim Barcelona were frustrated with how difficult negotiations for Coutinho were and they would not give them an easy ride to sign Cillessen.
