Yerry Mina picked up an ankle injury in Everton’s 1-0 defeat to Chelsea in August and has been sidelined since then.

Frank Lampard has confirmed the defender suffered another setback earlier this month and it has forced to spend more time away from the pitch.

With a contract expiring in 2023, the Colombia international’s future at Everton beyond this season remains uncertain.

Torcedores.com state the centre-back has been offered to Atlético-MG for a potential free transfer next summer. Giuliano Bertolucci is the representative who takes care of the player’s affairs in South America.

It’s claimed Bertolucci has proposed the Toffees man to several clubs, with the intention he can sign a pre-contract from the start of next year. According to the report, Mina has been offered to Atlético-MG, Boca Juniors, Mexico’s Club América and LA Galaxy.

Although the ex-Barcelona defender’s desire is to continue in Europe, the report explains he ‘does not rule out’ a move to another continent.

Meanwhile, a move to Atlético-MG will be made difficult by the Everton player’s salary and the commission his agents would ask for carrying out the transfer.

To sum it up, Mina is open to leaving Everton after he was offered to clubs in South and North America. A move to Atlético-MG remains unlikely, while there seems a possibility of joining one of the other three clubs.
