Barcelona🔷 Announce €11.8m Yerry Mina Signing✍
Barcelona have announced their second signing of
2018, with defender Yerry Mina joining La Liga's leaders from Brazilian side
Palmeiras for €11.8 million.
A deal for Mina had been set up for after the World
Cup, but Barcelona were keen to complete an early move for the defender, who
made clear his desire to join Ernesto Valverde's side.
The Colombia international will strengthen
Barcelona's defensive options as Javier Mascherano is reportedly expected to
leave Camp Nou in the January transfer window, with Chinese Super League side
Hebei China Fortune reportedly keen on the experienced Argentine.
Mascherano has started only six La Liga games so far
this season, with Thomas Vermaelen typically selected by Valverde as Gerard
Pique's partner in the absence of the injured Samuel Umtiti.
The table-toppers said in a statement: "Yerry
Mina now comes to Barca with the opportunity to continue developing as a
footballer following his move to Europe. Without a doubt the Colombian has the
potential to
make
it.”
