'Yerry Mina will be at Barca for 10 years'

Speaking to 'Sport', Cuca assured that the Colombian will remain in Barcelona for up to 10 years as his quality and game will go the distance. 

"I spoke with him when his signing for Barca was confirmed and he was very happy. He was anxious [but] insisted that all he wanted was to play, play and play."

When asked if Mina will adapt easily to Ernesto Valverde's team, Cuca replied: "Yerry is a very cheerful and extroverted person, he brings music to the dressing room, he always smiles, joking around...

"[Because of] his game, his character, I believe that Mina will be at Barca for 10 years. He has gone to a great club, with very important players at his side. He reminds me of Gabriel Jesus, whom also played under me. He went to Manchester City and quickly become important to the team. Mina is going to be like Gabriel Jesus," Cuca concluded. 

The Catalan club signed the 23-year-old from Palmeiras for €11.8m on 11th January but the Colombian defender has yet to make his debut.
