Everton face fresh competition to sign Yerry Mina.
Everton face competition to sign Yerry Mina from Boca Juniors.
Tuttomercatoweb report Boca have submitted a ‘take it or leave it’ deal to Barcelona.
The offer isn’t high, just eight million Euros, but it also contains a pledge for a significant cut of a future sale.
Everton are keen on signing the centre-back, who Barcelona need to sell if they are to add another non-EU player to their side.
Mina starred at the World Cup for Colombia, scoring three goals in four games.
Everton are hoping to sign Mina, with the Liverpool Echo reporting their interest last week.
If Boca were to land Mina it would be a blow for the Toffees, but it might actually work in their favour regarding his international teammate Wilmar Barrios.
Barcelona are not the only team battling nationality quotas.
Boca are balancing the books for foreign players too, and are at their limit currently.
Signing Mina and keeping Barrios would be big for Boca, but it may be impossible for them to keep both especially with the midfielder attracting significant attention.
