Everton have set an asking price of up to £21.4 million for Yerry Mina as the Toffees look to fund a move for Kalidou Koulibaly this summer, according to a report from Italian outlet Tuttomercatoweb.

Mina’s future has become a talking point in recent days. The Sun claimed at the weekend that he wanted a move to Serie A this summer.

That report suggested that he was set to leave Goodison Park. And Tuttomercatoweb has now also cast doubt on his future, with Carlo Ancelotti keen to sign Koulibaly.

According to the report, Everton may have to raise funds before pursuing the 29-year-old, who will cost up to £42.75 million (€50 million).

And it is suggested that Mina may be the player who moves on.

Several clubs apparently want the Colombian. Everton meanwhile, will accept a fee of between £17.1 million (€20m) and £21.4 million (€25m).

The suggestion that Mina could leave did not go down well with a lot of Everton fans. But if his departure paves the way for Koulibaly to arrive, opinions may change.

The Senegal international still has some time left at his peak. And given his asking price, bringing him has the potential to be an amazing piece of business.
