Barcelona goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen would be interested in a move to the Premier League, but the Dutchman will accept any decision that his Spanish club team make.

Barcelona goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen has revealed that he would be interested in a move to the Premier League this summer, but the Dutchman will accept any decision that his Spanish club make.

Cillessen, 29, has only made two La Liga appearances for Barcelona since his arrival in 2016, with Marc-Andre ter Stegen very much the number one goalkeeper at Camp Nou.

Arsenal and Liverpool have both been credited with an interest in the Netherlands international, but Cillessen will gladly remain at Barcelona if that is the decision that is taken.

"I think that I played well in the matches I had in the Copa del Rey," Cillessen told Fox Sports Netherlands. "I need to wait patiently. The only thing I know is that Barcelona won't sell me.

"Arsenal and Liverpool aren't bad clubs but if Barcelona say, 'We love you,' then I'll accept their decision and continue there.

"I'll wait until we return on July 16 to see what they've decided. I don't know anything. If the club wants to keep me, I'll accept that. I signed a five-year deal with them."

Cillessen has a contract with Barcelona until the summer of 2021, and it is understood that the stopper's release clause stands in the region of £53m.
