Yerry Mina wants to quit Premier League for good after £120,000-a-week Everton exit news
Everton defender Yerry Mina favours a move to Turkey instead of staying in the Premier League, according to the Sunday People.
The newspaper added that the defender currently earns £120,000-per-week, but is out of contract this summer.
Mina, who joined the Toffees in 2018, is still contracted to the Merseyside outfit until 30 June.
“The defender is a free agent and favours a move to Turkey rather than stay in the Premier League,” according to the Sunday People, (page 59, 11 June). “Fitness affected his time at Goodison.”
And when discussing his weekly wage and contract situation, the Sunday People added: “£120,000, out of contract.”
Summer exit impending
Mina spent five years on the books at the Toffees, but didn’t quite hit the heights expected of him given that he arrived from Spanish giants Barcelona.
The centre-back constantly found himself in and out of the starting XI, although he wasn’t helped by the continuous managerial turnover during his time at Goodison Park.
A Premier League exit seems very likely this summer for the Colombian, who would perhaps find himself in a similar position at another English club for the next few seasons, as opposed to going to a place like the Turkish top flight where he would be guaranteed regular football.
Everton fans will thank the defender for his services over the five years, with Mina set to be well remembered for this key contribution this season in the crucial 1-1 draw with Wolves in May, with the Colombian netting a 99th-minute equaliser to clinch a point for Sean Dyche’s men.
