Spanish international Gerard Deulofeu is set to join Watford from Barcelona for an initial €13million (£11.5m) fee, the LaLiga champions have confirmed.
The 24-year-old has signed a five-year contract with the Premier League club, where he spent the second half of the 2017-18 season on loan. The deal could cost Watford up to €17m (£15m) including variables, while Barca will receive a percentage of any future transfer fee.
“We are very pleased to welcome Gerard back to Vicarage Road and thank FC Barcelona for their part in concluding this deal,” Watford chairman and CEO Scott Duxbury said.
