Yerry Mina would prefer the prospect of playing in Ligue 1 with Lyon, over a deal to move to Everton, according to Jean-Michel Aulas.
As reported by L’Equipe’s Bilel Ghazi, the Lyon president talked up the chances of the Colombian defender joining the French side this summer.
Several clubs are in the running for the Barcelona outcast after he impressed at the World Cup in Russia.
After failing to impress at the Nou Camp, he had been expected to be moved on by the club.
Lyon would be able to offer the player Champions League football, something that Everton would not be unable to match.
Marco Silva has been in the market to reshape the Everton defence this summer, with concerns over the futures of both Michael Keane and Ashley Williams.
A left-back is also high on Silva’s wishlist as he targets a move for fellow Barcelona defender Lucas Digne.
