La Liga
FC Barcelona continues to closely monitor the progress of Óscar Mingueza, the right-back of Celta de Vigo, who has been one of the key players in the Galician team's strong start to the La Liga season. The defense, already called up twice in a row by the Spanish national team, has sparked interest from several clubs due to his outstanding performances.
One of the factors that puts Mingueza on Barcelona's radar is his affordable release clause, set at 20 million euros. Despite Barcelona facing a complex economic situation, this amount is tempting to strengthen a position with not many solid alternatives. Additionally, the Blaugrana club holds preferential and 50% future sale rights of the player, which could facilitate a potential deal.
Celta wants to eliminate this possibility with a contract renewal
However, as reported by 'Football España', Celta de Vigo's president, Marian Mouriño, has been clear about Mingueza's contractual situation. According to his statements, there is no buyback clause for Barcelona, but both the club and the player are content with their current relationship. Moreover, Celta would be willing to renegotiate the player's contract to increase his release clause and prevent a low-cost exit.
Despite Barcelona's interest, if they wish to reclaim Mingueza, they must act swiftly as Celta could take measures to protect the player. Meanwhile, Mingueza himself has expressed his commitment to the Galician project, adding a point of uncertainty to his immediate future.
