Yerry Mina ‘to leave Everton on free transfer after club make no effort to renew his contract’

EVERTON defender Yerry Mina is allegedly set to leave Everton after the club failed to offer him a new contract.

The defender cost the Toffees nearly £27million when he arrived from Barcelona back in 2018.

A report says that the club have not offered him a new contract

However, the Colombian international has suffered a number of injuries throughout his time at Goodison Park.

And that has reportedly led Everton chiefs to decide not to enter talks with the 28-year-old over extending his £120,000-a-week deal.

That is according to journalist Pipe Sierra, who tweeted: “Yerry Mina (28) will not continue in #Everton . From the club there was no effort to renew his contract that ends in June of this year.”

They added: “The defender is already listening to offers from other leagues.

“In principle, the Colombian’s desire is to continue in Europe; despite other interests.”

Mina has missed most of the campaign with Everton due to an ankle injury with James Tarkowski and Conor Coady being first-choice at the back.

The Toffees, who boosted their survival hopes with a 5-1 win at Brighton on Monday, are believed to be considering signing on-loan Coady permanently should they beat the drop.

Meanwhile, Brazilian clubs Atletico Mineiro and Palmeiras have both been linked with Mina over recent months.

The South American ace has only made 83 appearances for the Merseyside outfit in the top-flight.

And only four of them have come this term.

However, boss Sean Dyche did hand him his first appearance since January against the Seagulls last night as he started at the back.

Now Mina will be desperate for more action when Everton take on Man City this Sunday.
