The transfer market in Brazil is still open, so there is a possibility that more stars will join Série A. Vasco da Gama, in fact, was mentioned as a possible destination for Yerry Mina.

The Colombian defender has a contract with Cagliari until June 2025, so he could become a free agent in less than a year. His salary is high, but according to Globo Esporte, Vasco’s front office are interested in the defender.

If he arrives in Rio de Janeiro, Mina would join a long list of fellow countrymen playing in the Brasileirao:

Felipe Aguilar – Athletico Paranaense
Yeferson Rodallega – Atlético Goianiense
Yony González – Atlético Goianiense
Brahian Palacios – Atlético Mineiro
Santiago Arias – Bahia
Helibelton Palacios – Cruzeiro
Jhon Arias – Fluminense
Kevin Serna – Fluminense
Jan Lucumi – Fluminense
Miguel Monsalve – Grêmio
Rafael Borré – Internacional
Richard Ríos – Palmeiras
Henry Mosquera – Red Bull Bragantino
César Haydar – Red Bull Bragantino
James Rodríguez – São Paulo FC
Luis Orejuela – São Paulo FC
Emerson Rodríguez – Vasco da Gama

Without any doubt, he would be a luxury addition for Cruzmaltino, which has already secured the return of Philippe Coutinho in the winter transfer window.

Mina already has experience in Brazilian football from his time at Palmeiras between 2016 and 2017. It was right after that when he made the leap to Europe, where he played for Barcelona, Everton, and Fiorentina before joining Cagliari. Will he return to South America at 29?
