Everton are counting on Barcelona snaring their former transfer target Jasper Cillesen in their bid to land Joe Hart.
Pep Guardiola is preparing to offload the England goalkeeper as he plans a reunion with his former Nou Camp ally Claudio Bravo at Manchester City.
However that proposed deal is dependent on Barcelona sourcing Ajax stopper Cillesen as a replacement for the outgoing Chile international.
Ronald Koeman previously targeted his compatriot as Everton’s first-choice goalkeeper this summer but has since turned his attention to signing Hart.
Guardiola told the 29-year-old earlier this week that he is free to leave the Etihad Stadium this summer.
