According to Spanish media reports, Merseyside giants Liverpool are considering making a move for goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen from La Liga side Barcelona this summer transfer window.

Liverpool keen on Barcelona goalkeeper

Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo, as cited by Metro, is claiming that Liverpool are targeting the Netherland international goalkeeper this summer transfer window as manager Jurgen Klopp looks to reinforce his options in goal.

Loris Karius’ Liverpool future has been cast into major doubt after his nightmare display in the UEFA Champions League final.

Cillessen, 29, has been an understudy to first choice Barcelona goalie Marc-Andre Ter Stegen and it is believed that he is now keen to complete a move to get regular playing time.

Liverpool seek alternatives

The same report states that the reds have turned to the Barcelona goalie after suffering setbacks in their pursuits of top transfer targets Jan Oblak of Atletico Madrid and Roma’s Alisson.

The Reds are likely to be in the market for a number of recruits this summer transfer window as German boss Jurgen Klopp looks to assemble a team capable of winning the English topflight league title next term.

The Champions League beaten finalists confirmed their first summer signing few days ago when they sealed a transfer deal to sign Fabinho from Ligue 1 side Monaco.
