Mini bio
How it started.
Born in Guachené in Colombia’s Cauca region, Yerry began his football journey in his hometown. He developed into a centre-back at Deportivo Pasto, then established himself at Independiente Santa Fe before moving to Palmeiras in 2016.
A bigger stage.
He won the Copa Sudamericana with Santa Fe and the Brazilian league with Palmeiras. Barcelona signed him in January 2018, and he became the first Colombian to play for the club’s first team. Later that year, he moved to Everton, where he stayed until 2023, before spells with Fiorentina and Cagliari.
The summer fans remember.
At Russia 2018, Mina scored in three successive appearances for Colombia, including the late equaliser against England. FIFA highlighted both his defending and his threat in the opposition penalty area.
Life in Sardinia.
Mina joined Cagliari in February 2024 and extended his deal through June 2028 in May 2025. In his renewal interview, he spoke warmly about the support he, his wife and their children had received. Fans can also follow his football and family posts on his official Instagram.
