A new name is coming to be added to his list Olympiakou for his reinforcement in the center of the defense! While the “red and white” seem to be a breather from acquiring David CarmoTuttomercato puts the 29-year-old central defender of Fiorentina on the table for the back of Piraeus, Geri Mina!
The international Colombian stopper signed for the Viola last August. After five years in England and the Premier League with her shirt EvertonMina was released, completing his presence in the “candies” with 99 appearances and 9 goals. Taking advantage of this fact, Fiorentina proceeded to acquire him, wanting to add experience and quality to the position of stoppers. However, things did not turn out as he expected and wanted.
After almost a semester, Mina is packing his bags for other states, as he never managed to fit into the Florence team, and at the start of the season he also had a muscle injury, which kept him out for a long time. It is characteristic that in this semester the 29-year-old played one 90 minutes, and that in Europe, and a total of 40 minutes in Serie A, with just four appearances, and another 60 minutes in the Cup! Obviously, and with the Copa America approaching, Mina wants to leave and go somewhere, where he will have a role.
In Tuttomercato, therefore, they write that in the bay for his acquisition is Porto, but also Olympiacos! The report specifically emphasizes: “Porto had him as their first choice Chaglar Shoyunchu, but Atletico Madrid’s Turkish defender’s decision to return home and accept Fenerbahce’s offer prompted the Portuguese club to explore other avenues. And among them is the defender of Fiorentina, who is one of the first choices of the “dragons” at the moment.
Apart from Porto, however, Olympiacos also came forward persistently in the last few days. The Greek club is looking for a central defender and Mina is a profile that coach Carlos Carvalhal quite likes. Both clubs are now required to come to an agreement with Fiorentina (who will not let him go). Above all, there should be an agreement with the player, who is asking for guarantees on his ownership, given that he has played less than 200 minutes in seven appearances so far».
