Indeed, the 22-year-old will not join up with Ernesto Valverde’s side until January at the earliest but may even remain with Palmeiras until next summer.
Mina has been heavily linked with a move to Camp Nou from the Brazilian champions in the last 12 months and the deal has been agreed in principle.
The defender is currently out of action having injured his foot, keeping him on the sidelines until next month.
