Johan Andreé Mina Mendoza (born 15 May 2002) is an Ecuadorian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Werder Bremen II.
Born in Guayaquil, Ecuador, Mina started his career with Emelec at the age of eleven. [2] However, a contract dispute meant that he did not play football at all between 2018 and 2020. [3] He was linked with Spanish and English giants Barcelona and Chelsea, but eventually he moved to Germany to sign for Werder Bremen. [4] [5] [6] In October 2019, while still at Emelec, he was named by English newspaper The Guardian as one of the best players born in 2003 worldwide. [3]
Mina was unable to settle at Werder Bremen, where he struggled to make friends or enjoy German cuisine. [7] He was loaned to Portuguese side Estoril Praia in 2021, but again failed to settle, as Estoril deployed him at left-back for their under-23 side, a far cry from his natural false-nine position. [7] [8] [9] Despite winning the under-23 league, Mina only totalled ten appearances in the whole season. [10]
In July 2022, Mina returned to childhood club Emelec on a one-year loan from Werder Bremen. [11] [12] However, he again struggled for game time, and it was rumoured that the loan would be cut short in November 2022. [13] [14] [15]
Mina has represented Ecuador at under-17 and under-23 level. [1]
Johan's father, Joaquin, also represented Emelec in the 1990s. [3]
