Barcelona unveiled new signing Yerry Mina on Saturday after sealing an €11.8million move for the Colombian centre-back.
The 23-year-old will offer much-needed backup at the position, given Samuel Umtiti’s absence through injury and Javier Mascherano‘s likely departure.
🖊 Signed, sealed, delivered. 🖊
