DBasia.news – A complicated situation is happening in Barcelona, regarding the center back of Colombian 23-year-old player, Yerry Mina. Barcelona wants to let him go, by loan or permanent, but Mina doesn’t want to leave.
“Yerry has lots of offers but his dream is to play for Barca.“He knows that Barca have 25 squad places available and everyone is important. But what’s important to him is that he plays,” said Jair Mina, uncle, and agent of Mina, reported by Sport-English.
“We won’t do anything unless Barcelona tell us we need to find a new club for Yerry.”
There are many European clubs interested to the 1,94-meters-height defender. Especially from Premier League clubs like West Ham United, Leicester City, and Everton. The latter is a bit more serious in approaching Mina.
Jair admitted that he conducted a negotiation with Everton sporting director, Marcel Brands.
“I’ve spoken to Everton’s director of football (Marcel Brands),” he said. The negotiation was probably about Mina’s chance to move to Goodison Park.
The certainty of the former Palmeiras defender’s future will be clear if Barcelona includes him in the transfer list. Barca expects at least 30-45 million euro for his transfer.
Mina’s price tag is predicted having inflation due to his impressive performance in the 2018 World Cup, where he scored three goals by his head with the Colombian national team. One of Mina’s strengths is airball duel.
His playing style is suitable with England football culture. That’s why most of the offers come from Premier League clubs. His compatriot, Davinson Sanchez’s success to adapt to England football culture can be a good example for Mina if he decides to join Everton.
