  • Yerry Mina’s unhappy spell at the Nou Camp is expected to come to an end very soon – just six months since he joined Barcelona.

    But the Colombian central defender is in demand elsewhere with a whole host of Premier League clubs battling for his signature.

    Mina impressed at at the World Cup, scoring three goals, including a towering header to force extra time against England.

    The latest club to express interest in the 23-year-old, according to Sky Sports, is newly-promoted Wolves, although Everton are thought to be the front-runners for his signature.

    The Toffees, who have just forked out £40m on Richarlison from Watford, have also been linked with another Barca defender, Lucas Digne.

    However recent reports from France have suggested Mina, who played just six times for Barca last season, could be on his way to Manchester United.

    Mundo Deportivo believe that Mina’s future is up in the air with other suggestions that Lyon have made Barca an offer, submitting around €30million.

    The Spanish outlet say that Mina’s uncle, agent Jair Mina and advisor Felipe Russo, have met with the Catalan giants’ general manager Pep Segura and directors Eric Abidal and Ramon Planes in recent days.

    The player’s uncle told Colombian radio station Caracol Radio: “Yerry wants to have playing time this season and we will see what the position of Barcelona is.

    “We have received excellent offers from clubs in Qatar, England, Italy, Russia and Germany.”
