- José Eulises Mina: "How do I feel now that my son has become a Barça player? Very happy. Reaching Barça is the maximum expectation for any football player, it's a privilege."
- José Mina: "What was the first thing I said to Yerry after the signing was confirmed? I said: "Thank you for this accomplishment that you give us as a family."
- José Mina: "Yerry's childhood? He is a humble boy. He was raised in Guachené, a town of 20,000 inhabitants in which 99% of the population are Afro-descendants. As a child he was always very applied with everything and he finished his school."
- José Mina: "He did not believe that he was going to share the dressing room with Messi, Suárez, Coutinho ... He knows that he arrives as a substitute but he will work to become a starter as he always did."
- José Mina: "Is it true that I wanted my son to be a goalkeeper like I was? He wanted to be a goalkeeper, but that position demands a lot of sacrifice, I did not want to see my son suffering."
- José Mina: "Yerry did not believe this all would happen, although he is convinced that he is a good player. He will adapt very easily and quickly to the team, for sure."
- José Mina: "On a sporting level, I would highlight his presence and his elegance when playing the ball from behind. Technically he is very good and likes to join the attack, to take risks. As on a personal level, he has always won the affection of the people for his humility."
- José Mina: "Yerry's name was chosen by his mother, we liked the drawings of Tom & Jerry, it comes from there, although we put it with a 'Y'."
