Óscar Mingueza is living decisive weeks for his future while Celta de Vigo resists accepting his potential departure. The Catalan full-back is one of the key players in the team in LaLiga, and the Galician club does not want to lose him.

In Vigo, they are aware that the interest from Juventus Turin is real and very strong economically. The offer that the player's entourage is considering includes a signing bonus close to five million euros.

Óscar Mingueza, a key player both on and off the field

As reported by 'ElDesmarque', the priority for Celta de Vigo is clear: Óscar Mingueza will not be moving in January. The club does not consider his departure in this transfer window, especially not for figures ranging between four and six million euros.

The reason is simple. The club would only receive half of the transfer fee due to shared rights with FC Barcelona. On the field, Óscar Mingueza provides more value than that sum of money. Claudio Giráldez sees him as indispensable. His performance as a full-back has been consistent, reliable, and decisive, in both LaLiga and in Europe, where Celta maintains its aspirations intact.

Celta de Vigo's financial effort

To convince the player, Celta de Vigo has put forward its best offer in recent history. The proposal amounts to around four million euros gross annually. With this contract, Óscar Mingueza would be among the top earners in the squad, second only to names like Iago Aspas or Ilaix Moriba. A carefully calculated yet manageable effort.

The sports management understands that this salary disparity can be balanced in the short term. Future departures and expiring contracts will free up wage mass in the coming months.

Juventus Turin patiently waits for its moment

From Italy, they remain calm. Juventus Turin knows that January is out of the question but trusts in making another attempt in the summer if Óscar Mingueza does not renew. The player, on the other hand, wants to decide soon. Playing without a contract for the next season is a risk he is not willing to take.

Imminent decision for Óscar Mingueza

The plan is clear. Óscar Mingueza will make a final decision between late January and early February. Until then, he will continue to be a key player in the Celta lineup. At A Sede, they do not consider the battle lost. The club appeals to sentiment, to the project, and to prominence. Retaining Óscar Mingueza is an absolute priority for Celta de Vigo.
