Celta de Vigo has identified Carlos Vicente as a potential replacement for Óscar Mingueza in the event of his departure. Carlos Vicente, who plays a crucial role for Alavés, has a contract with a 20 million euro release clause. However, it is anticipated that Celta might not be able to meet this amount, even if Aston Villa activates Mingueza's clause, as 50% of it would be allocated to FC Barcelona because of a prior agreement. Carlos Vicente, who plays as a left winger, joined Alavés from Racing de Ferrol during the last winter transfer window and has since become a key part of the team. Celta is making preparations for the potential loss of Mingueza, who has drawn interest from Premier League clubs, including Aston Villa, following his impressive season.
