Cillessen rules out Palace move

Barcelona goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen has ruled out a move away from the club after links to Premier League side Crystal Palace.

The South London club are now managed by Frank De Boer – who signed the Dutch international for Ajax and with whom he reportedly still holds a good relationship.

"I have not spoken with Frank, I know him well but I've not talked to him," Cillessen told reporters after a training session on Thursday.

"Would I answer a phone call from Frank? Well I'm not going. I am very happy here."

De Boer signed the current Dutch international from NEC in 2011 and the goalkeeper went on to make over 100 Eredivisie appearances for the Amsterdam club, winning three league titles.

Cillessen moved to Barca last summer in a €17 deal but failed to dislodge first choice goalkeeper Marc-Andre Ter Stegen – making only one La Liga appearance.
