Óscar Mingueza definitively distances himself from Barcelona

Celta de Vigo is in full negotiations to secure the continuity of Óscar Mingueza, one of its most important players, and acquire 100% of his rights. Since his arrival at the Galician club more than two years ago, the defense has become a key piece in Claudio Giráldez's scheme, sparking Celta's interest in safeguarding his future.

Currently, FC Barcelona holds 50% of the rights for a future sale of the player, but does not have a buy-back option. In this sense, Celta's Football Director, Marco Garcés, stated in a recent interview that they have already initiated discussions with the player and his representative to reach an agreement that benefits both parties. "Mingueza is clear that he wants to stay here, and we want him to stay," Garcés affirmed.

On his part, Mingueza has also expressed his desire to continue with the Vigo team on several occasions, emphasizing his commitment at both personal and collective levels. With a contract until 2026, the player remains essential for Celta, and his performances have even led to his call-up by the Spanish national team under Luis de la Fuente's command.

Celta's goal is to secure all the player's rights and, at the same time, improve Mingueza's contractual conditions, a process that, although in its initial stages, could end with the defender tied long-term.
