Why Yerry Mina Didn’t Join Man United

DBasia.news – The saga transfer of Yerry Mina has reached to an end after Everton announced the player during the end of Premier League transfer market. In fact, the Colombian player was previously speculated to join Manchester United.

At that time, Manchester United were looking for a central defender. No wonder, Jose Mourinho considered the defense sector as the weakest point of The Red Devils, compared to the other positions.

One of the players on the shopping list was Yerry Mina. The Barcelona player predicted to match Eric Bailly in the back sector.

After some contacts, both clubs started the serious negotiations. Barcelona agreed to release Yerry Mina as long as Manchester United agreed to use the buyback clause in his contract.

However, Man United didn’t grant the request. Sunday Times reported The Red Devils felt the clause will be a boomerang if the player performed well in the future.

Besides, Manchester United also didn’t agree to the salary request from Mina. He was asking the salary equal to Man United’s star players.

In the end, Everton are the new place for Yerry Mina. The 23-year-old player signed the contract that will be last until June 2023. Besides Mina, Barcelona also sell Lucas Digne and Andre Gomes to Everton.
