Small details separate Yerry Mina from joining FC Barcelona

Small details separate Yerry Mina from being a Barcelona player before the end of the month. It is expected that Barcelona's board will pay extra money to Palmeiras to sign the Colombian center-back once and for all. Although the deal is already closed, the 'Culés' are still open to strengthen the central defense.

According to the Italian newspaper 'La Gazzetta dello Sport', the five-time European champion still has Dutch defender Stefan de Vrij from Lazio on their radar. Although his signing is not a priority in this market, Camp Nou has not lost track of him and could finalize his arrival midway through the year, once Javier Mascherano's move to China has been completed.

The Dutch central defender that Barcelona does not lose sight of.

According to the aforementioned portal, De Vrij's contract with Lazio expires at the end of the season and he refuses to renew. He has received irresistible offers, but the Dutchman is waiting for a call from a European giant. It could be Inter Milan, although he is also interested in FC Barcelona.

On the other hand, the Spanish newspaper 'Mundo Deportivo' states the following about this case: " De Vrij is one of the defenders that Barcelona has been following and if his contract ends, he could be an interesting option, especially for the next season."

Despite Lazio's failed attempts to extend De Vrij's contract, the team from the Italian capital still plans to increase his salary to 2.5 million per season and set his release clause at 25 million euros. That way, the 'celestes' would make a big profit in the operation.
