# Virals: AC Milan ‘considering’ move for Everton star Yerry Mina

European giants AC Milan are reportedly ‘considering’ a move for [Everton](https://readeverton.com/2021/12/02/virals-everton-named-among-clubs-interested-in-daniel-jebbison/) central defender Yerry Mina.

The 27-year-old ace has been absent for numerous weeks with a thigh injury but had been in [exceptional form](https://www.sofascore.com/player/yerry-mina/360396) prior to the setback.

Now the Columbian has been earmarked as a potential replacement in Milan for [absent Dane](https://www.acmilaninfo.com/kjaer-injury-ac-milan-star-risks-long-time-out/) star Simon Kjaer.

That’s according to a report from [AS](https://as.com/futbol/2021/12/02/primera/1638422178_425714.html), as cited by [Everton FC News](https://twitter.com/LivEchoEFC) on Twitter.

The report claims that Stefano Pioli will be in the market for a centre-back in January and the [38-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/yerry-mina/nationalmannschaft/spieler/289446/verein_id/3816) Columbia star is among the leading contenders.

So far this season Mina has made [six Premier League appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/yerry-mina/leistungsdaten/spieler/289446) for the Blues.

### READ EVERTON VERDICT

Valued at £18million and under contract at Goodison Park until 2023 ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/yerry-mina/marktwertverlauf/spieler/289446)), Everton will need to make a decision on the ace’s long-term future sooner rather than later.

Whilst there is no immediate need to cash in, no new deal beyond next summer will leave the Toffees vulnerable to losing a [key asset](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/everton/marktwertanalyse/verein/29) for nothing.

That said, whilst the likely lofty transfer fee would be welcomed, Rafa Benitez should be in the market for strengthening the [squad](https://www.evertonfc.com/teams/first-team) in the winter market, not losing its most important players.
