Cillessen is the goalkeeper of Bordalás

José Bordalás closes the door at the exit of Cillessen. The coach wants the Dutchman to be his starting goalkeeper next season. The Alicante-born considers that the meta has more than enough qualities to be the support of the goal of his Valencia and his wish is that he stay on the staff for the next year despite the fact that, at first, he was one of those designated to go out and make cash.

Injuries have been Cillessen's great handicap in this season. In fact, he has only played ten games this season. It is true that he started as a substitute for Jaume but when Gracia was already considering returning him to ownership, in November, he had a rectus anterior quadriceps tear of the right leg that forced him to undergo surgery. His debut this year was on February 20, against Celta. But after playing five games in a row he injured his knee, a sprain, in the warm-up of a match of his selection. Another month out. Once overcome, he played the last five league games. His bad luck, this season, did not end there. When he was summoned to play the European Championship with the Netherlands, he contracted COVID-19. De Boer decided not to wait for him and took him off the list. After a great disappointment, eThe meta is now ready to forget this season and show its quality, at the orders of Bordalás, unless an unlikely offer appears that pleases all parties.

In addition, the market does not allow to think of anything else either. Because the player was signed for 35 million euros at the accounting level (In reality it was an exchange with Barça for Neto). Therefore, Valencia still has to amortize 17.5 million for the Dutchman, a figure that, at 32, it is very difficult for someone to pay for it. And more in the current market context due to the pandemic. If Valencia sells it for less, it would incur losses. Yes indeed, Between the amortization and the token having Cillessen on the staff costs about 12.5 million, a figure that will occupy a large part of the salary limit that Valencia will have this season.
