Óscar Mingueza leaving Celta de Vigo?
There is a concern at Celta that Óscar Mingueza might leave. The transfer window has distracted him and affected his performance.
Monchi, the sporting director of Aston Villa, has shown interest in Óscar Mingueza from Celta de Vigo. Mingueza's experience and versatility make him an attractive option for the English club.
Óscar Mingueza is attracting interest from several European clubs, which puts his continuity at Celta de Vigo at risk. Although Celta would like to keep him, the possibility of a departure in January is increasingly likely.
The president of Celta, Marián Mouriño, expressed confidence that Oscar Mingueza will remain with the team despite the possibility of his release clause being paid. She mentioned that while anything can happen in the market, she believes Mingueza is happy at Celta and is an important player both on and off the field.
Liverpool is eyeing Óscar Mingueza to strengthen their defense amid Trent Alexander-Arnold's potential departure. Mingueza's impressive performance this season has attracted Liverpool's interest. With a contract at Celta de Vigo until 2026 and a 20 million euro release clause, the transfer is feasible. FC Barcelona holds 50% of his economic rights, potentially aiding negotiations.
There was a fear at Celta de Vigo that Óscar Mingueza could leave due to a potential release clause activation. His release clause is set at 30 million euros. If sold, Celta would only receive 50% of the transfer fee as the other half belongs to Barcelona. Celta is considering buying the full rights to the player.
Óscar Mingueza, a Catalan player from Celta de Vigo who came from FC Barcelona, which retains 50% of the profits from a future sale of the footballer, will not move this summer from Balaídos. The technical organization of the Celtista team, headed by Claudio Giráldez, contemplates this. Mingueza has become a fixture in the Galician coach's schemes this season, holding strong on the wing and being essential in the team's survival, which flirted with relegation at certain stages of the championship. Mingueza's good performance makes him one of the Celta players likely to be 'tempted' by some club. But Celta does not contemplate this possibility and counts on him 100% for the next course.
