“We are very happy to embrace him again, a top international player who needs no presentation,” technical director Pierpaolo Marino told the club website.
“This represents a fairy-tale signing for us.”
Following Watford’s relegation from the Premier League, the Pozzo family are starting to shift their resources back towards Udinese in Serie A.
Pereyra made 104 appearances for Udinese, scoring eight goals.
