Barcelona has no right over Mingueza 1d6v6x

Catalan defender Óscar Mingueza is dazzling in this early season with RC Celta de Vigo. His outstanding performance, with two goals and three assists in the first five league matches, has sparked the interest of several clubs, including his former team, FC Barcelona.

However, speculations about the player's possible return to Camp Nou have been clarified by Marco Garcés, sporting director of the Galician team. During a press conference with president Marián Mouriño and CEO José Goinzarain, Garcés dispelled doubts about Mingueza's contractual situation.

"Barcelona does not have a buy-back clause on the player. What they do have is a right of first refusal and half of the profit from any potential transfer," explained Garcés. This statement ends the rumors about a possible immediate return of the defender to Barcelona.

The center-back, trained at La Masía, arrived at Balaídos in 2022 at no transfer cost, after not fitting into the plans of the Blaugrana team. At that time, Barça secured these rights as part of the agreement.

Mingueza, on his part, is grateful to Celta for the trust placed in him. "My current wish is to remain at Celta," stated the footballer, focusing on his present and avoiding fueling speculation about his future.

His excellent start to the season has not gone unnoticed by Luis de la Fuente, the Spanish national team coach, who recently called him up for Nations League matches. With a release clause set at 20 million euros and a contract valid until 2026, Celta is in a favorable position to retain Mingueza. However, if a tempting offer arises, Barcelona would benefit financially from the operation thanks to the agreement established upon his departure.
