Yerry Mina joined Everton in the summer of 2018.

Yerry Mina will not leave Everton in the summer transfer window, the defender’s agent has told aSPOR.

Mina has been linked with a move away from the Toffees this summer, with a report in Mundo Deportivo claiming that the Premier League club have decided to send the central defender out on loan.

The report has claimed that Turkish giants Fenerbahce want to secure the services of the 24-year-old Colombia international on a loan deal.

Mina’s agent and uncle, Jair Mina, has said that the defender will be at Everton next season.

Jair Mina told aSPOR, as translated by The Liverpool Echo: “Yerry will certainly not leave Everton. This type of transfer news is purely gossip. Mina owes Everton and has to prove himself. He will not leave Everton.”

Everton stay

Mina struggled to make an impact at Everton this season, but the Colombian is a good defender who should be given another chance.

The 24-year-old joined Everton from Spanish and European giants Barcelona in the summer of 2018 for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £27.19 million.

According to WhoScored, the defender made 10 starts and three substitute appearances in the Premier League for the Toffees this season, scoring one goal in the process.
