It took very little to conquer the heart of the Island, but now Yerry Mina is ready to become a symbol of the present and future of the rossoblù. Cagliari secures its defensive totem with a contract renewal until June 30, 2028, with an option for a further season if specific sporting conditions occur.

Mina, who arrived in January 2024, made his debut with Roma on February 5 and took just a few games to take everything : the locker room, Ranieri's trust and above all the love of the fans. With his overwhelming charisma, the former Barcelona and Everton player immediately established himself as a silent but inexorable leader. On the pitch he commands, growls, wins duels (211, a record in Serie A), recovers balls (129) and... scores. Yes, because he also knows how to make himself heard in front of goal: from the first goal against Juventus and the decisive blow against Lecce. His performances have made a decisive contribution to achieving salvation, obtained with the victory over Sassuolo in Reggio Emilia.

This season he has played 30 league games so far , scoring the precious goal that opened the scoring in the 3-0 victory against Venezia, which was decisive in mathematically remaining in Serie A.

Mina is a battle-hardened player, one of those who change the face of a team . In just a few months he has become the defensive soul of Cagliari.
