Barcelona 'agree deal with Ajax for keeper Jasper Cillessen'

Jasper Cillessen is reportedly on the brink of sealing a switch to Barcelona from Ajax, paving the way for Claudio Bravo to join Manchester City.

Barca technical secretary Robert Fernandez admitted on Saturday that the Chile international will only be allowed to depart for the Etihad Stadium once a replacement arrives.

Ajax stopper Cillessen is a long-term target for the Catalan giants and, according to Sky Sports News, a deal has now been struck between the two teams.

Bravo's impending arrival at Man City is likely to in turn see Joe Hart seek a move away from the club, with Everton the strong favourites to land the Englishman's signature on an initial loan deal.

The same report suggests that Bravo's move to City will be worth around £17m, bringing an end to his two-year stint at Camp Nou.
