He spent 18 months with Barca after joining from Spanish second division side Albacete but failed to make a first-team appearance at the Nou Camp.

Manaj moves to the Hornets for an undisclosed fee.

He is new Watford boss Rob Edwards' second signing of the summer following the arrival of Ivory Coast striker Vakoun Bayo.
