It’s official – Roberto Pereyra has joined Watford in a deal worth €13m plus €2m bonuses.
The deal was confirmed by Watford late last night and Juventus have released a statement this morning also confirming the deal.
“Juventus Football Club S.p.A announces that an agreement has been finalized with Watford Association Football Club Limited for the definitive disposal of the registration rights of the player Roberto Maximiliano Pereyra for a consideration of €13m to be paid in four financial years.
“The consideration may increase of €2m on achieving given conditions in the course of the duration of the contract.
“The economic effect is positive for about €0.2m.”
While he had a poor campaign in 2015/16, largely due to long-term injuries problems, the season prior was a memorable one. Pereyra was instrumental in Juve’s Champons League run as well as in the league and Coppa Italia. Wishing Roberto all the best at his new club!

Gonna miss the lad.
But this is apart of the ongoing transformation. He dosen’t cut it anymore therefore it would be unwise to turn down such an offer and deny him the chance to try out his wings in England and possible play more minutes there.
I wish him the best of luck over seas and hope that in the future he will return to the club in some form.
Goodbye Roberto, thanks for what you did for the club! And good luck at Watford!
Understandable transfer, but i can only have respect for this man. Added what he could add and always played decent. Good luck at Watford! Maybe he’ll get to meet Elton John :p
Didn’t we pay like 18 for him? I was expecting a little more cake in return.
