Italian outlet CMW claims Inter Milan want to sign Everton defender Yerry Mina for a bargain fee of just £8.75million – if Milan Skriniar joins PSG. Mina is out of contract at Everton next summer as his injury problems continue to persist.
Mina, 28, is now in his fifth season at Everton but despite that, he has only played 92 times in all competitions. The Colombia international started the campaign against Chelsea, but was injured on 70 minutes and has since been out.
The injury issues have plagued his time at Everton. It has kept him on the sidelines for a huge amount of time. Preventing the ex-Barcelona man from garnering any momentum. His current £120,000-a-week deal ends in June.
With PSG looking to sign Skriniar in January, who is in a similar position to Mina in terms of contract, Mina has been targeted by Inter. The report claims that Inter want to sign him for just £8.75million, but it will depend on his wages.

At this point, Everton should be willing to take any kind of figure for the centre-back. His deal expires at the end of the season. He is unlikely to break back into the Toffees side. So surely, he will not be offered a new contract at Everton.
Even if he was playing, it would be unwise. His injury-prone status, his big wages – it means Everton should avoid a new deal. So, being able to offload him six months early for a decent amount of cash, and get his wages out, is key.
Especially, when Conor Coady and James Tarkowski are playing so well. The club have Mason Holgate and Ben Godfrey as cover. If Inter come calling for Mina, then Everton must do everything to push him towards the Nerrazzuri.
