Yerry Mina has reportedly now been 'told' by Everton that he is 'leaving' this summer.

The Lowdown: 'Big player'

Frank Lampard has previously admitted that Mina is a 'big player' for him and the Goodison Park outfit, and they tend to perform better when he is in the team, as they lost a whopping 19 out of the 30 games where he did not play last season, compared to just four in the 14 matches that he did (Transfermarkt).

However, his contract on Merseyside is set to expire in 2023, and there has not been any talk of a renewal as of yet.

The Latest: Leaving...

Taking to Twitter, TUTTOmercatoWEB journalist Raimondo De Magistris has revealed that Mina has now been 'told' by the Toffees that he is 'leaving' this summer:

"Yerry Mina is leaving Everton this summer. One year before the expiration of the contract, the Toffees told the Colombian defender that he is not part of future plans."

The Verdict: Big blow

We feel it will be a big blow to lose a key player in Mina, especially given the fact that he could end up leaving for a relatively cheap price with only one year left on his contract.

However, it looks as if central defender James Tarkowski is set to arrive on a free transfer from Burnley having reportedly had a medical at Finch Farm, which would soften the blow.

Nonetheless, the Blues should be looking to tie Mina down to a new deal if possible, instead of willingly letting him go this summer with just 12 months of negotiating power.
