Everton reportedly bid 24 million for World Cup star

According to reports, Everton have reportedly bid €24 million for Colombian defender Yerry Mina of Barcelona according to Goal.com

Mina was a pivotal player in Colombia’s World Cup campaign. Netting three times including a crucial equaliser against England in the last minute of the game.

Everton are reportedly in contact with Barcelona over a potential deal, with sporting director Marcel Brands working to sign Mina for the Toffees.

The Blues have reportedly already submitted a bid amounting to €24 million, as they look to bring the Colombian to Goodison Park.

There are reports that Barcelona could put a purchase clause in the deal for Mina, meaning they could sign the player back if he potentially does well at Everton like they did with Gerard Deufofeu.
