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.
