Yerry Mina has made just nine Premier League starts under Marco Silva at Everton, failing to rebuild his reputation after that Barcelona spell.

Fenerbahce have renewed their interest in Everton defender Yerry Mina with the big-money signing seemingly facing an uncertain future at Goodison Park, according to Dirilis Postasi.

The Toffees paid a substantial £27.2 million fee to bring Mina to Merseyside last summer (Sky) after the Colombian impressed at the World Cup, scoring three goals as Jose Pekerman’s side reached the knockout stages before losing to England.

The 24-year-old arrived having spent a forgettable few months at Barcelona and his time at Everton has not gone much better.

He has started just nine Premier League games and his weaknesses were laid bare when he came off the bench in the recent 3-2 defeat to Newcastle United.

As a result, the Turkish press believe that Mina could have another new club by the time next season kicks off.

Everton are apparently willing to loan him out for the 2019/20 campaign and Fenerbahce would jump at the chance to bring the giant defender to Istanbul. Sporting director Damien Comolli has apparently made contact with the Premier League club already.

TV3 (4 July) claimed last summer that Fener had made a £26 million bid for Mina but could they finally get their man, one year on?
