Is Jasper Cillessen a good signing for Barcelona?

Claudio Bravo’s move to Manchester City is reportedly almost complete and Barcelona have done their homework to bring in a replacement to the squad. Bravo leaves Barcelona having won all possible trophies and making most of his appearances in La Liga. He decided not to play second fiddle to Marc-André ter Stegen and thus chose Manchester City as his next destination. It was initially thought that Barcelona’s new back-up goalkeeper would be Diego Alves after a lot of speculation but it now seems like that will not be the case. Instead Barcelona sporting director Robert Fernandez and manager Luis Enrique have opted for Jasper Cillessen, the current Ajax Amsterdam number one goalkeeper.
