Barcelona have signed Ajax goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen for £11.1m to replace Manchester City-bound Claudio Bravo.

Netherlands international Cillessen, 27, has signed a five-year deal with the Spanish champions, who could pay another £1.7m in variables.

He started his career with NEC Nijmegen before joining Ajax in 2011.

Cillessen's move was confirmed hours before for an initial £15.4m.

Bravo made 70 La Liga appearances in two seasons for Barcelona but never featured for them in the Champions League, with Marc-Andre ter Stegen their first choice in cup competitions.
