Óscar Mingueza has become one of the most reliable pieces of Celta de Vigo in the current season. His versatility and ability to perform in various defensive positions have made him a fixed key player in Claudio Giráldez's plans, who has managed to fully exploit his versatility. However, this prominence has also sparked the interest of several foreign clubs, and everything indicates that his departure from the Vigo team is very close to happening.
One of the teams that has strongly bet on him is Aston Villa managed by Unai Emery, with Monchi in the sports management. The operation seems to be quite advanced, and in Vigo, they already assume they will lose one of their most reliable players in this transfer window or, at most, the following one. Mingueza is under contract until 2026 and has a buyout clause set at €20 million, an amount that could be negotiable, although not by much.

In any case, the main beneficiary of this situation, beyond the player himself, will be FC Barcelona. As reported by 'MundoDeportivo,' the Barcelona club reserved 50% of the economic rights of the defender at the time of his sale to Celta, hence any transfer will result in a direct income for Barça.
At Balaídos, they are already working to fill his void, and the name that stands out the most is Carlos Vicente, currently at Alavés. The Galician club could manage that operation without difficulties.
