Barcelona star Lionel Messi wants the club to keep Jasper Cillessen at the Nou Camp.
Cillessen was forced to play second-fiddle to Marc-Andre ter Stegen last campaign and reportedly wants regular first-team action.
Spanish news outlet Don Balon say Liverpool remain interested and still believe the transfer is possible despite Jurgen Klopp giving his backing to Simon Mignolet and Loris Karius.
But the report adds that Messi thinks Cillessen is integral to Barcelona and doesn’t want him to leave.
Cillessen has a £53m buyout clause in his contract.
