Roberto PEREYRA is very close to joining English Premier League club Watford.

According to reports, Watford have reached an agreement in principle to sign the Juventus midfielder. PEREYRA’s agent has confirmed that a deal in principle has been reached. Apparently, the fee is in the £13 million region. Should that be the fee, PEREYRA would become the club’s record signing. Here’s what his agent had to say:

“There is a negotiation going on between the two clubs. There is a draft agreement but in football you can tell it is done only when there are signatures. The two companies are working to make ends meet.”
