"(The fee) could reach two million euros depending on the player's performance," Barcelona stated.

The 30-year-old striker will sign a two-year contract with Monaco.

Gudjohnsen joined Barca in 2006 from Chelsea. In three seasons he played 72 league matches and scored 10 goals, while helping the club to win the Champions League, the title and the Copa del Rey.

But he has recently been sidelined and made no secret of his desire to leave.

Barcelona began their title defence on Sunday with a convincing 3-0 home win over Sporting Gijon.
