Domingos Quina, who made 11 appearances for Rotherham last season, joins Udinese, who like Watford are owned by the Pozzo family
Midfielder Domingos Quina has left Watford to join Italian Serie A side Udinese, with the terms of the transfer undisclosed.
The 23-year-old Portuguese scored three goals in 37 appearances for the Championship club after signing from West Ham United in the summer of 2018.
He had two loan spells away from Vicarage Road last season, spending time with Elche and Rotherham United.
Long-serving defender Craig Cathcart and Mario Gaspar have also departed.
Cathcart, 34, spent nine years with the Hornets but his contract and the club have not offered the centre-back a new deal.
The Northern Ireland international had a spell on loan with the club in 2009-10 before signing permanently in 2014, ultimately making 262 appearances for the Hertfordshire side.
He won promotion to the Premier League with Watford in 2015 and 2021 and started the FA Cup final in 2019.
Gaspar's contract, meanwhile, has been terminated by mutual consent.
The 32-year-old Spanish defender played 33 games in all competitions after joining the Hornets from Villarreal last July.
Midfielder Juergen Elitim, who did not make an appearance for Watford, has joined Polish side Legia Warsaw, while fellow Colombian Ober Almanza, 20, has moved back to his homeland to join Orsomarso SC on loan until the end of December.
