Everton close in on €24m Barcelona defender Mina

Everton are nearing a €24 million (£21m/$28m) move for Barcelona centre-back Yerry Mina, Goal understands.

The Colombia international only joined Barca from Palmeiras in January, but played sparingly and does not feature in the Blaugrana's plans moving forward.

With the expected arrival of Clement Lenglet from Sevilla and the established duo of Gerard Pique and Samuel Umtiti, Mina's prospects for minutes at Barcelona are dim.

Despite a lack of playing time at the Camp Nou, the 23-year-old shined at the World Cup for his country, scoring three goals as the Cafeteros fell to England on penalties in the last 16.
