Barcelona defender Yerry Mina looks set to leave the club this summer.

The 23-year-old Colombian joined from Palmeiras in January but, despite some excellent World Cup displays, failed to impress in La Liga.

Mina has been heavily linked with a move to Everton but Manchester United have also reportedly joined the race for his signature.

Jose Mourinho ideally wants to sign Leicester City's World Cup hero Harry Maguire - but the Red Devils aren't willing to stump up the £70m asking price.

According to Sport, Man United have now asked Barcelona about Mina's asking price.

The Catalan giants will reportedly accept a deal worth around €40m for a player who signed for just €11.8m six months ago.

Mina won't get to train with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez if he leaves Camp Nou - but that could be a blessing in disguise.

Mina pays for Messi's shopping

The Colombian defender wanted to help create a positive atmosphere at the Barcelona training ground when he arrived from Brazil.

But, unsurprisingly, betting against Leo Messi and Luis Suarez ended up costing him dearly.

“When I arrived, to create a good atmosphere I started to bet with Messi and Suarez to see who took the best free-kicks in training,” Mina said to Bocas magazine, as per Goal. “I did it just to watch them.

“Before I knew it they were taking 50 euros a day off me. And I was like, 'What, I'm paying for these guys to go shopping!'

"But the truth is those monsters put the ball wherever they want it.

“They are fantastic people and they are wizards.”

It probably wasn't the smartest idea to challenge Barcelona's two most lethal free-kick takers.

Mina went on to discuss his loss of confidence during his debut season in La Liga.

“I thought a lot of things, a lot of bad things,” said Mina. “I thought I was finished.

“I felt so bad and [Philippe] Coutinho and Paulinho tried to encourage me all the time and told me that everything would be fine.

“For me, I understand that there are spectacular players [at centre-back] but I just wanted to have a minute to impress and it didn't happen.

“The few minutes I did get, they were bad ... it felt at times like everything was going wrong and coming down.

“I felt like I couldn't do anything right, such as even giving a pass in training.”

Mina is contracted to Barcelona until 2023 but could be sold while his stock is high after the World Cup.
