Barcelona goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen has confirmed that he intends to leave the Camp Nou this summer.

The 30-year-old has been the backup to Marc-Andre ter Stegen since arriving from Ajax in the summer of 2016, regularly impressing in the Copa del Rey but having only played 28 times in total for the Blaugrana, and the Dutch national team No.1 is determined to be playing regularly.

“First I will go on holiday and then I hope to have a new club where I can play, because I want to play,” Cillessen told the Dutch television channel Ziggo Sport.

Although Cillessen failed to become a regular with the Catalan giants, he would still recommend that Ajax centre-back Matthijs de Ligt join teammate Frenkie de Jong in moving to Barcelona this summer.

“I know Frenkie de Jong is coming, but is the De Ligt thing true?” added Cillessen.

“In any case, if you have the chance to go to Barcelona, you have to take advantage of it.”
