Barcelona defender Yerry Mina is on the verge of completing a move to Everton after undergoing a medical in Spain, according to reports.
Manchester United had expected to sign Mina after submitting a fresh £35million bid for the Colombia defender earlier this week.
Mina, who impressed at this summer's World Cup, had emerged as one of Jose Mourinho's key targets ahead of deadline day, with moves for Toby Alderweireld, Harry Maguire and Jerome Boateng also having been touted.
However, according to Sky Sports News, it appears that the Toffees have beaten their Premier League rivals to his signature after he underwent his Everton medical in Barcelona on Thursday afternoon.
Mina has been on Everton's radar for several weeks, and they look like just beating the clock to bring him to Goodison Park.
The relationship between Barcelona and Everton is believed to be strong, with left-back Lucas Digne already moving to Goodison Park from the Nou Camp in this window.
Manchester United, meanwhile, have since had an approach for Atletico Madrid defender Diego Godin knocked back by the Spanish club.
