Growing Interest in Versatile Defender
Celta Vigo’s Oscar Mingueza has become a target for several clubs in the Premier League. The defender, who can also operate as a fullback and in midfield, has significantly improved his performance while playing for Celta, having developed his skills at Barcelona’s La Masia academy.
Competition from Europe
Recent reports suggest that Celta Vigo may struggle to retain Mingueza, as multiple teams from Europe are making inquiries about him.
Interested Clubs
England:
- Newcastle United;
- West Ham United;
- Aston Villa.
Italy:
- Como;
- AC Milan;
- Atalanta.
France:
- Olympique Marseille.
Celta Vigo reportedly turned down offers between €12 million and €14 million during the last summer transfer window and will demand at least double that amount next year to consider selling Mingueza. The LaLiga club is expected to negotiate for a high fee due to Barcelona having retained a 50% sell-on clause from the original transfer.
