Barcelona v Athletic Club - Copa del Rey: Round of 16 Second Leg
Cillessen has been out of favour with the Barcelona managers

The Dutch's inclusion in the list might raise many eyebrows but it is only because of his underuse at FC Barcelona. Cillessen made a massive mistake by deciding against staying at Ajax in 2016 and agreeing on a move to Barcelona.

Since his arrival at Camp Nou, the better part of his career has gone into watching the games from the sidelines, with Marc-André ter Stegen appropriating his berth.

During his two-year stint, the talented shot-stopper only made 21 appearances for the team, just two of which came in the La Liga. It goes without saying that a person of his flair deserves to enjoy more playing minutes.

Liverpool were the club who could have furnished him with the much-needed game time for a price in the region of £20m.

In return, they could have boasted of a well-rounded goalkeeper who's athletic, nimble and has great footwork. On top of that, he is an intimidating presence when one-on-one as Cillessen tends to stand his ground, not diving in or trying to commit the forward, but instead waiting for the moment of the shot having made the target to hit as small as possible.
