Wolverhampton Wanderers to hijack Everton's move for Yerry Mina?

Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly hopeful of bringing Barcelona defender Yerry Mina to Molineux with the aid of agent Jorge Mendes.

The Colombian centre-back has previously been the subject of talks between Barca and Everton over a summer move, despite talking up his aspirations of playing regularly for the Catalan giants' first team.

Mina, who was one of the stars of the 2018 World Cup in Russia, only joined Barcelona in January but may now be sold or loaned out after being restricted to just four La Liga starts in the second half of last season.

According to The Mirror, Wolves are also in the running to land the 23-year-old's signature thanks to their close ties with Mendes.

Wolves hope that a season-long loan could tempt Mina into making the switch, with Mendes - described as 'Mr Fixit' for his ability to push through moves - tasked with negotiating a deal.
