Everton eye Rojo as Barcelona refuse to budge on €40m Mina demands

Everton are ready to move for Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo after growing frustrated at Barcelona in their pursuit of Yerry Mina, Goal understands.

The Toffees had hoped to sign the Colombia international, who enjoyed an impressive World Cup campaign, for a fee of £27m ($35m) .

Barca have, however, refused to deviate from their £35m ($47m) asking price, leading to Marco Silva’s side to consider other targets.

With the Premier League transfer window due to close on August 9, time is running out for the Toffees to solve their defensive issues, and as such they are now looking at bringing in Rojo.
