Barcelona reportedly earmark Ajax keeper Jasper Cillessen as a possible replacement for Claudio Bravo, who has been linked with a move to Ajax.

Barcelona have reportedly earmarked Ajax goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen as a possible replacement for Claudio Bravo.

Bravo has been Barca's number one keeper in La Liga since arriving at the club, but has been forced to sit out matches in the Copa del Rey and the Champions League in favour of Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

The Chilean has been linked with a move to Manchester City this summer, with Pep Guardiola reportedly keen to replace Joe Hart at the Etihad Stadium.

That has forced the Spanish champions to consider potential replacements, and Mundo Deportivo reports that Cillessen tops their list.

Valencia keeper Diego Alves and Napoli's Pepe Reina were also considered by Barca, but Cillessen is thought to be the preferred choice.
