Gerard Deulofeu will officially return to Barcelona. The Catalan club posted a note on their official website communicating that the striker will return after his loan at Milan last season.
"FC Barcelona have activated the buy-back clause for Gerard Deulofeu. In the following days, the terms will be agreed with both Everton and the player. Deulofeu’s contract will run until 30 June 2019."
A return in the Blaugrana colors could be temporary because Barcelona will decide his future next week. There will be a meeting between the agent, the player and the club to discuss the situation. The player wants to play as much as possible to have a shot to be called up for the World Cup in Russia in the summer of 2018.
