Report: Manchester City join Barcelona in Yerry Mina race

Manchester City are reportedly interested in signing Palmeiras defender Yerry Mina.

The 22-year-old, who joined Palmeiras from Colombian outfit Santa Fe earlier this year, has already signed a "pre-agreement" with Barcelona, according to his agent.

That said, when revealing the agreement, Mina's representative insisted that other clubs were still interested in his client and a move to Camp Nou was not sealed despite the current situation.

According to the Daily Mail, Man City boss Pep Guardiola has sent scouts to watch the powerful centre-back this season and the English outfit will closely monitor his development over the coming months.

Mina, who has a contract with Palmeiras until the summer of 2019, has earned four caps for the Colombian national team.
