RIO DE JANEIRO, Oct. 31 (Xinhua) -- Manchester City are reportedly considering a move to sign Colombian international defender Yerry Mina in the next European transfer window.

Mina has impressed the Premier League club's scouts with his form for Brazilian Serie A leaders Palmeiras and the Colombia national team.

The Premier League's winter transfer window runs from January 1 to February 1.

Mina, who joined Palmeiras from Independiente Santa Fe in May, has been capped four times since making his international debut at the Copa America in June.
