Barcelona to unveil second January signing Wednesday

 

The Spanish giants sealed a £142million deal for the Liverpool star on Saturday night after months of transfer uncertainty.

And he could be joined at the Nou Camp by Palmeiras defender Yerry Mina.

Mina, 23, wants to move to Barcelona and has requested an immediate transfer to be done.

Spanish radio station RAC1 claim a £10.8million deal will be done and that he could be announced as a Barcelona player in the coming days.

The Colombia centre-back is wanted at Barcelona as a replacement for Javier Mascherano.

Mascherano is likely to quit the Nou Camp for a new challenge in the Chinese Super League.

Mina held talks with Palmeiras sporting director Alexandre Mattos on Friday where he outlined his desire to go.

“I spoke with Mina, who says he has big dreams and that now is the time to leave,” Mattos said.

“Now that we know his desire, it’s time to reach an agreement with Barcelona.

“If they come to us with the figure we have asked for, Mina will go. If not, he’ll stay at Palmeiras.”
