Everton considering alternatives as Barcelona demand €40 million for Mina

Everton are reportedly now taking a look at other options as Barcelona refuse to budge over their €40 million asking price for defender Yerry Mina.

Goal.com report that Everton could now look elsewhere for a new centre-back, with the club considering Barcelona’s demands unreasonable.

Marcus Rojo of Manchester United is a potential target, with the Argentine centre-back linked with a move away from Old Trafford this season.

Mina’s potential move to Goodison Park is not completely dead, however, with some suggesting that the club are using interest in Rojo to attempt to push through a deal for the Colombian defender.

Lyon are also looking at Mina, and are hoping that the prospect of Champions League football can bring the Colombian centre back to France.

Mina only joined Barcelona in January but struggled with game time at the Nou Camp.

The defender shone at the 2018 World Cup, however, scoring a last-gasp equaliser against England in the knockout stages of the tournament in Russia.
