Leicester City have reignited their interest in Colombia and Barcelona centre-back Yerry Mina, according to reports.

City were consistently linked with the 23-year-old defender before he made his €12million move to the Nou Camp from Brazilian side Palmeiras in January.

Six months on and Barcelona are ready to let him go, with City, West Ham and Everton all submitting €30m (£26.5m) bids, Spanish daily Sport splashed on their front page on Saturday.

Mina briefly broke English hearts at the World Cup, his injury-time header in the last-16 clash one of three goals he scored for Colombia in Russia, sending the game to extra-time before the Three Lions’ shoot-out victory.

Despite his aerial threat, Barcelona have deemed he’s surplus to requirements, with manager Ernesto Valverde and his coaching team unimpressed by Mina’s ball-playing ability.

Barca have just signed centre-back Clement Lenglet from Sevilla for £32m and with Gerard Pique, Samuel Umtiti and Thomas Vermaelen in the squad, Mina has been informed he's not needed.

It appears the Colombian is happy to move on too.

"I want to play for a team where there is less pressure and where I can have minutes," Mina told reporters, having played just six times for Barcelona since his January transfer.

"I will always try to do my best for me, for my club and I hope that wherever I end up, whether it is at Barcelona or whether I have to leave, I will do it in the best way."

Because of his exploits with Colombia, Mina is not due to return from holiday until August 4, five days before the transfer window closes in England.
