Everton negotiate with Barcelona for Yerry Mina

The 6ft 5in centre-back made quite an impact during the World Cup, scoring against England during the rather fiery quarter-finals encounter.

According to the 'Daily Mail' Marco Silva is looking to build his defence around the Colombian for the coming season.

Everton had previously hoped to get the defender on a season-long loan, but it looks likely that Barcelona will sell the player in order to offset the money they will spend on Lenglet.

Everton will not be looking to pay a lot for the player, as they try to recover from last seasons high expenditure.

They have already decided to abandon negotiations for Celtic's Kieran Tierney due to his £25million asking price.

The team are currently preparing for the new season at a preseason camp in Austria.
