Barcelona winger Carles Perez has moved to Roma on loan for the rest of the season in a deal which will be made permanent in the summer.

The 21-year-old made his debut last season and broke through this term, making 12 first-team appearances and scoring two goals, but is not part of the plans of new coach Quique Setien.

"FC Barcelona and AS Roma have reached an agreement for the loan of the player Carles Perez until 30 June for a fee of 1 million euros," Barca said on their website on Thursday.

"The Italian club will pay the player’s wages and are obliged to pay 11 million euros for the player plus 3.5 million in add-ons once the loan period is over."

Barca do not have a buy-back option for the young forward, but do have first refusal if Roma decide to sell in future.

"FC Barcelona would like to publicly thank Carles Perez for his commitment and professionalism and would also like to wish him all the best for the future," the Catalan club added.
