Yerry Mina He is at one of the decisive moments of his professional career, the period where he is constantly injured cost him his starting place in the Everton And with the end of his contract approaching, he is still looking for an opportunity to stay at least one more season in the English institution.

Despite the intention to continue in the group Toffee, The ball is no longer with the player, but with the guidelines and the outcome this season may have for the team. Currently, the Guachené native is one of the highest earners in the Everton squad, receiving a salary of around €640,000 per month, and in case the team goes down to the second division, they will have to release some players to have a good financial cushion.

That’s how the newspaper put it Athleticism, that apart from Mina’s situation, he also mentioned other players like Tom Davies or Andros Townsend, who receive a rather high salary whose payment would not be possible to maintain in the category below the Premier League:

“Yerry Mina, Abdoulaye Doucoure, Tom Davies, Andros Townsend, Seamus Coleman, Asmir Begovic and Andy Lonergan are out of contract this summer. Decisions also need to be made on loan players Conor Coady and Ruben Vinagre. That would be a big deal. surprise if the latter stayed in. Even losing Mina and Davies would result in an estimated saving of around £150,000 per week. Doucoure would put that figure above £200,000.”

It is important to highlight that today, in addition to seeking its renewal, the sphere of Yerry or himself is already authorized to negotiate with other teams. This according to section number 3 of article 18 of the FIFA Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players, which establishes the freedom of negotiation for a player when he has six months or less remaining on his contract:

“A professional player will be free to sign a contract with another club if his contract with the current club has expired or will expire within six months. Any violation of this provision will be subject to the relevant sanctions.

Currently, according to AthleticismMina hasn’t yet been able to sit down with the club’s board to ask for a contract extension as they are focused on getting their goalkeeper’s renewal signing. Jordan Pickford and attacking midfielder Alex Iwobi:

“Everton have prioritized the new deal until 2027 for Pickford to protect one of their key assets and prevent other clubs from stealing it for less than it is worth this summer. In terms of ‘fee protection’, his next priority is to intensify discussions with Iwobi and his representatives on extending his current contract beyond June 2024.”

That being so, the Colombian has the ‘head’ situation to continue in the squad and not being able to rely on consistent playing minutes doesn’t improve the overall picture. Since Sean Dyche took over the team in early February, Mina hasn’t played a single minute.

Since signing Dyche, Everton have faced Arsenal, Liverpool, Leeds United, Aston Villa, Arsenal Again, Nottingham Forest and Brentford. In none of these matches has the coach given Mina the opportunity to play and if the situation develops in this way, it will be better for him to start looking towards new horizons where he has more participation and more priority in the starting team.
