According to Fiernze Viola, Sean Dyche made the right decision to let Yerry Mina’s Everton contract expire after suffering another injury that could keep him out of action for two months.
The Italian news publication shared that Fiorentina have suffered a “punch in the stomach” with Mina’s latest injury, his eighth in the last few years, forcing the Italian club to consider new targets already.

For Everton, this news will come as a relief and shows Dyche and Kevin Thelwell made the correct decision to allow the Colombian’s contract at the club to expire, with his continued injury issues now plaguing his new club.
Correct decisions in the transfer market have been a rarity under the guidance of Farhad Moshiri since his takeover of the club, with several players brought in on big wages and for big money before proving to be flops.
Mina can be considered one of those, having arrived at Goodison Park for around £26million in 2018 [Transfermarkt] following impressive performances at the Russia World Cup, before ultimately leaving for free, but in this case, the club were right to cut their losses.
The Colombian suffered injury issues throughout his time on Merseyside, missing a combined 54 games [Transfermarkt] over five years, and although centre-back was thought to be a problem position for Dyche, Mina would not have been the man to solve those problems.
Good decisions in the transfer market have been a rarity at Everton since Moshiri took over as the controlling shareholder in 2018, but under Dyche and Thelwell’s guidance, a correct call has finally been made here.
