Barcelona's Jasper Cillessen: Signs with Barcelona

Cillessen signed a five-year contract with Barcelona on Thursday after transferring from Ajax for 13 million, with an additional 2 million if he reaches certain benchmarks.

Analysis:

Cillessen comes in to replace Claudio Bravo, who is being sold to Manchester City. Bravo was primarily used in La Liga action last season, while Marc-Andre ter Stegen played during Champions League matches, though with the latter currently injured, Cillessen could get plenty of playing time in all competitions. As the starting keeper for Barca, Cillessen unsurprisingly holds tons of fantasy value.
