Deulofeu joins Barcelona on two-year deal

FC Barcelona have confirmed that they plan on bringing Gerard Deulofeu back to Spain this summer on their website, with the Catalans activating the winger’s buy-out clause.

Barcelona have been reportedly interested in bringing Deulofeu back to Camp Nou for several months now, and today the club made the decision to activate his buy-back clause, which currently stands at £10.5million.

The 23-year old signed a permanent deal with the Toffees in July 2015, but struggled to reignite the form he found towards the end of his loan spell in the 2013/14 season.

After the signing of Yannick Bolasie last summer, Deulofeu fell further down the pecking order and subsequently joined Milan on loan in January, where he enjoyed a moderately successful spell in Lombardy.
