He spent the following season at Sevilla and then returned to Everton again, after which he landed at AC Milan for the second half of the 2016\/17 season. There, he started 16 games and scored four goals.<\/p>\n<p>Two weeks ago, Bar\u00e7a exercised its buyback option, bringing the forward back to the Catalan capital.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br \/>\nGerard Deulofeu ya ha firmado su contrato para formalizar su regreso al FC Barcelona.
