Gerard Deulofeu is heading home.
Barcelona announced it had re-signed the
23-year-old Spanish winger early Friday,
two weeks after exercising his buy-back
clause after he was sold to Everton in 2015.
According to the BBC, the buy-back clause is
worth $13.75 million.
The Catalonian club signed Deulofeu to a
two-year contract and Deulofeu is already
taking part in preseason training with the
club.

Since leaving Barcelona in 2013, Deulofeu
has played for Everton, Sevilla and AC
Milan, where he finished last season, making
16 starts and scoring four times. Overall
with Everton Deulofeu made 62 Premier
League appearances with five goals and 11
assists. But he found himself out of coach
Ronald Koeman‘s plans heading into this
season, opening the door for a return to
Barcelona.
For Barcelona, Deulofeu likely wasn’t their
first choice to sign this summer but bringing
in a homegrown winger who can impact the
game off the bench is never a bad idea,
especially at a cut-rate price.
