Yerry Mina | Barcelona confirm signing of Palmeiras defender

Barcelona have officially completed the signing of defender Yerry Mina from Brazilian outfit Palmeiras. The 23 year old has joined for a fee of 11.8 million euros and has put pen to paper a five and a half year deal at the Nou Camp.

The Colombian international was also reportedly recommended to Real Madrid by teammate James Rodriguez, but Los Blancos passed up on the opportunity to sign up. He has had only one red card so far in his professional career- in 2013 against Deportivo Pasto, and has a pretty good scoring rate for a defender.
