Barcelona keeper Cillessen encourages Liverpool interest: I need to play

Barcelona goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen has hinted he'd be open to a move to Liverpool.

The Dutchman is being linked with the Reds as manager Jurgen Klopp plans to shake up his keeper stocks.

Cillessen told AD: “It is clear that I want to play more and I have also indicated it several times.

“But Barcelona have indicated that they want to keep me. I can jump up and down but the ball is in the club's court."

When asked about a possible move this summer, the keeper elaborated: “I am waiting and the club know my stance. I have had a great time but I want to play.

“It has always been my ambition to be the first choice goalkeeper and that was the case even when I came here.

“However, Ter Stegen was unparalleled this season, especially in the first half, and I had little to say."
