According to earlier rumours, the Nigerian defender will join the Italian team with a Salerno base on loan.
He did not play for the hornets against Rotherham on Saturday, however, spent a significant amount of time strolling around the field waving to spectators in every section.
He joined Watford from Udinese in 2020, and was heavily linked with a move back to Italy last week which he eventually confirmed with an emotional statement on instagram.
Troost-Ekong took to his social media platforms to bid Watford farewell.
“The moment has come for me to move on from @WatfordFC after 3 special seasons shared with everyone involved,” he wrote.
“From everyone at the restaurant, security workers, volunteers at the stadium to the medical & office staff and all the rest you have made my time what it was.
“The coaches and most of all my teammates, I can only say thank you!!! The Pozzo family for believing in me and the important 5 years of my career at both clubs with the highlight the promotion and a chance to achieve my boyhood dream of playing in the Premier League.
“To all the fans thank you for your support, it has been special going from watching as a boy to stepping on the pitch as a player. As now a fan again I wish for promotion just as much as all of you and will be back watching from the stands in the future.”
Troost-Ekong joined Watford from Udinese in 2020 and led them to the English Premier League the following year.
