Benfica move for Barcelona goalkeeper

Benfica are eyeing Barcelona goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen.

The Dutchman has impressed in preseason, but knows he will have to step away when Marc-Andre ter Stegen returns from his extended summer break.

Sport says Benfica are aware of Cillessen’s position and hope to tempt him to Portugal.

They see the Holland international as a replacement for Ederson, who left for Manchester City earlier this summer.

Benfica and Barca have already done business in recent weeks over Nelson Semedo’s move.
