Initially, they wished for the player to leave on a loan deal worth €2m (£1.8m/$2.3m) but they are open to selling if they can retain a buy-back option in his contract. Barca have already done business with the Merseyside club on such a basis before, having sold them Gerard Deulofeau before taking him back to Camp Nou last summer.  Another meeting between the clubs is slated for next Monday, which could be decisive for the deal. Should Barca accept Everton’s offer, Mina could complete his move within a week. He managed only a handful of appearances with Barca, featuring a mere six times in La Liga and the Copa del Rey combined, achieving a total of just 377 minutes and four starts across both competitions.  With the national side he was rather more successful, although he missed their opening World Cup match – a 2-1 defeat against Japan – after being left out of the starting XI. Once in the squad, he was highly useful at both ends of the field, scoring in all three matches he played and seeing his side concede only once in the 300 minutes he managed on the pitch. Everton have yet to make a single signing this summer but have seen Ramiro Funes Mori and Wayne Rooney both depart the club on free transfers.</blockquote>
