Liverpool are interested in Barcelona goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen, according to Mundo Deportivo.

The Catalan publication reports that the Reds, Napoli and Atletico Madrid are keen on the Dutch international, with the stopper likely to consider his future in the summer.

Since joining from Ajax in 2016, Cillessen has been content playing second fiddle to Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, and he is said to be focused on the Copa Del Rey final which he will play in against Sevilla on Satuday.

Following that match though, he will weigh up his options. At 28 years of age, he is aware he won’t have many more opportunities left to be a regular starter at a top club so he will carefully consider his next move.

Napoli are reportedly the keenest at the moment with the club president Aurelio Di Laurentiis needing to replace Pepe Reina who will depart the Serie A side at the end of the season.

Cillessen has a release of €60m (£52m) and has a contract that runs until 2021.
