Yerry Mina joined Barcelona in January 2018 for €11.8 million from Palmeiras and the player was considered the future of the Barcelona defence. He played six times in his the second half of the 2017/18 season which included a horror performance in Barcelona’s only league defeat of the season - a 5-4 loss against Levante.

Mina had a spectacular World Cup for Colombia during which he scored three goals. After the World Cup, Barcelona was willing to part ways with the towering centre-back and he was sold to Everton for €30 million on Premier League deadline day.

Like Everton, Watford also has a thing for former Barcelona players and Marc Navarro is one of three former players from the Barcelona academy currently playing for the Hornets.

Navarro is a right-back by trade but he can also play as a centre-back. The 23-year-old spent nine years of his youth career with Barcelona before graduating from the academy of rivals Espanyol.

The Spaniard played 36 times for the Espanyol senior team before joining Watford last summer. Navarro hasn’t been able to break into the Watford side and could be on his way out of the club soon.
