Valencia will sign Barcelona backup Jasper Cillessen for €35 million after reaching an agreement with the Catalan giants Wednesday.
Barcelona waived the Dutchman's €60-million release clause to facilitate the move.
Cillessen will sign a four-year contract with Los Che and jockey to be the No. 1 goalkeeper at the Mestalla.
The 30-year-old spent the past three seasons at Barcelona as Marc-Andre ter Stegen's substitute, making only 32 appearances during that time.
