Says Yerry will be our first summer signing. The deal was we extended our first option to 2018, to allow Yerry to stay at Palmerias for another year. But it seems like we decided to push forward with the signing.

According to UOL Esporte (Brazil) we will advance the signing of Yerry, and we are even helping him find a house in Barcelona and getting his work permit.

Don't think he'll make it here... Would be wise to loan him a season before he comes here...

Ideally, we could loan him to Ajax as part of the deal for Davinson...

If we are bring Yerry much sooner than expected this is my scenarios.

-Mathieu is leaving and Mascherano stays, but we decided to send Marlon out on loan, for more experience so Yerry comes in and fills the void left by Mathieu.

-Mathieu and Mascherano both leave, and we promote Marlon and he stays. But we still need another CB but due to other priorities needed in the Squad, we decide Yerry is the cheapest option to bring in as he would only cost 9 Million euros.

The Second scenario is risky, because we would be left with only Pique as the only Veteran in the CB spot and the other three CB will be 24,23 and 22 years old by the end of the year. Umtiti being the most experienced out of the three young CBs.

Going by Robert and the sporting departments change in strategy, I don't think we will fork over the cash for a older CB Like Mathieu and Verm any time soon.

Disappointing if true. I'm a big fan of Davinson Sanchez and I can't see us bringing in both of them if we're getting Mina.

Why not? Now we have Mathieu,Pique,Masch and Umtiti on CB position. Since Mathieu is 100% leaving I can see us signing both of them. Mina will probably come in January 2018 if signed (similar as Gabi Jesus) so Sanchez is also realistic target. Masch also needs to be replaced since he will probably leave soon (this summer of the next).

I think you're forgetting Marlon Santos who has looked promising in his appearances with the first team so far. Don't get me wrong about Mina though, and I hope you're right, and we do bring in both as I think he's got a lot of potential. He reminds me of Jerome Boateng. I just don't think it's likely we'll sign him and Davinson.

Oh yeah I forgot about Marlon. In that case I also doubt both of them will be signed. Mina probably and thats it when it comes to CBs.

Even without thinking about Marlon I think it's impossible we'd sign both Mina and Sanchez. We only have one non-EU spot left and even if one of Neymar/Suarez will get spanish passport this summer (which I haven't heard of anything) it wouldn't be the smartest planning to spent 2 of the 3 non-EU spots on what would be our 3rd and 4th CB choice. For the same reason it's also unlikely we'll keep Marlon next season if we sign Mina/Sanchez.

Also, signing Mina this early in summer would probably mean we aren't really that interested in Coutinho. Of course as said it's possible that Ney/Suarez are close to get spanish citizenship and people in club know that but until we get official confirmation of that it would be risky planning to sign Mina/Sanchez and Coutinho and then at the end not being able to register one of them in time.

That's unless I've overlooked something and Mina has a possibility to get Italian or some other EU country passport before he signs with us.

Mina is Colombia's second best player after James, I sincerely hope the board won't fuck this up because we have a 9m option on him which would be a steal.

Is he clumsy as some people claim?
