Everton close to throwing in the towel over Mina
Everton could call off their pursuit of Yerry Mina as a bidding war threatens to erupt over the Colombian defender. | Friday, 03 August 2018The Blues have reportedly bid £27m for Mina but the player has been holding out for offers from teams playing European football.
Lyon and Manchester United are said to be seriously interested, although there has been a suspicion of flame-stoking by his agent so it's hard to know just how serious those two clubs are.
Some outlets have claimed that Barcelona have come to an agreement with all three clubs while others say the Spanish club are now demanding as much as €40m.
The Liverpool Echo report that Marco Silva and Marcel Brands could end their interest in Mina rather than let a protracted battle for his signature leave no room to draft in alternatives before the transfer deadline in six days' time.
