BARCELONA COMPLETES THE SIGNING OF YERRY MINA

Barcelona have completed the signing of Colombia centre-back Yerry Mina joined  from Brazilian side Palmeiras on Thursday on a five year contract for a fee of 11.8 million euros ($14mn).

The 23-year-old is set to fill the void left by Javier Mascherano, who is on the verge of a 10mn euro switch to China’s Hebei Fortune.

The Colombian international will be Barcelona’s second signing of the January transfer window after Philippe Coutinho’s 160 million-euro capture from Liverpool.

Mina has a 100mn euro release clause attached to his contract.
