Yerry Mina or Vermaelen: Only one set to stay at Barcelona Barcelona Too many centre-halves at the club

Clement Lenglet's arrival at Barcelona solved the problem for Ernesto Valverde of having an alternative to Pique and Umtiti that he has confidence in, but at the same time there is now overbooking at centre half.

It means that either Yerry Mina or Thomas Vermaelen are set to leave with the former the more likely due to his lack of adaption to European football.

Mina is on the list of non-EU players but that is not the biggest problem right now with Paulinho having gone and Coutinho soon to have his Spanish passport and there is even margin to bring in another player.

The Catalan club are not urgently seeking a buyer for Mina and will want an offer in excess of 20 million euros.

In terms of money then Mina will bring in more than Vermaelen who will be 33 later this year and his contract ends in 2019 but at the same time the Belgian is not a player for the future.

Valerde prefers Vermaelen who performed well when he came in last season and also the player is ready to perform the role of substitute whereas Mina wants more minutes.
