“I want to thank my teammates for having made me live an incredible year, full of joy and wonderful people I have met within the club and the team,”
“I thank the coach for trusting me from the first call we had, which convinced me to come to Villarreal. Thanks to him I have progressed as a player and as a person, and now I even speak a little Spanish.”
“It has been a crazy adventure that has led us to qualify for the Champions League, and I hope the team will go very far in this competition.”
Barry leaves Villarreal after just one year at the club following a €14m move from Basel last summer.
He proved to be a hit, bagging 11 goals and four assists in 37 games in all competitions last season. He previously had 20 goals and five assists in 41 games for Basel.
Now he’s moved to the Premier League with Everton, who needed a forward addition after Dominic Calver-Lewin’s departure this summer.
