Everton director of football Marcel Brands has denied reports that inflated agent fees involved in the transfer of Yerry Mina from Barcelona.
They have signed Mina for €32 million.
"That was a bit of a gamble because everyone was writing about Man United (potentially tabling an offer) and Barcelona used that, agents used that, everyone used it. I don't know exactly if Man United were in. The player said constantly to me: 'I want to go to Everton," said the sporting director of Everton Marcel Brands.
