Yerri Mina is no longer on Fulham’s radar due to his excessive wage demands, reports have claimed.
The Colombian international defender became a free agent after ending a five-year spell with the Merseysiders this summer.
Mina had supposedly been set for a reunion with former Toffees boss and current Fulham chief Marco Silva at Craven Cottage.
But it now appears the central defender’s wage demands has led to the Whites cooling their interest in snapping up the injury prone 28-year-old, according to The Athletic.
Elsewhere, Football Insider has suggested the Cottagers are preparing to fight it out with West Ham in the race to sign deadball specialist James Ward-Prowse from Southampton.
Saints are unlikely to hold on to their prize asset following their relegation to the Championship, but West Ham are reportedly waiting for Declan Rice’s protracted switch to Arsenal to go finally through.
And that particular stalemate could pave the way for Silva and Fulham to make the first move to land the England international.
Should the Cottagers swoop and land Ward-Prowse, the 28-year-old would bring wealth of experience to Fulham’s midfield having represented Southampton more than 400 times.
