Colombia coach Jose Pekerman is convinced Palmeiras defender Yerry Mina will join Barcelona.

Barca have had an option for Mina since last season, but it has been claimed they may choose not to trigger it. Indeed, some family members of Mina's have expressed frustration over Barca's behaviour.

However, Pekerman believes the defender will still end up at Barca.

"He is a solid player, who is almost 2 metres and has the opportunity to join FC Barcelona in Spain," said Pekerman. "You will see, he will be one of the great revelations of today's football."
