Liverpool surprised everyone by splashing huge cash to sign Virgil Van Dijk from Southampton during the past January transfer window – making the Dutchman the most expensive defender in football history.
Of course, Van Dijk has been impressive at Anfield as he has settled quickly to life at his new club. However, it is obvious he can’t do it all alone in Liverpool’s defense. The Merseyside club need to sign another impressive defender to partner Virgil at the heart of their defense.
Well, there are new reports that the reds are close to signing Yerry Mina from Barcelona on a season-long loan.
It was claimed the Colombian International has told some people around him that he is going to Liverpool at the end of this season.
So far this term in the La Liga, Mina has only played three games and is obviously not pleased with his lack of chances. From all indication, the La Liga heavyweights won’t hinder him from leaving on loan when summer comes.
Yerry joined Barcelona in January for just €11.8 Million after catching their attention with his impressive performances and records., and the Camp Nou club included a whopping release clause of €100m in the contract he signed.
