Óscar Mingueza is going through a tough time at Celta de Vigo after starting the season with outstanding performance. The defender, who became a key player for Claudio Giráldez, scored two goals and provided five assists in the early LaLiga matches, standing out for his versatility in different positions on the field. However, his situation has changed in recent weeks, with his impact on the team diminishing.

During the winter transfer window, his name was strongly linked to several European clubs. One of the most interested was Aston Villa, where Monchi closely monitored his progress, even attending a match at Vallecas. There were also speculations about a possible return to Barcelona, the club that still owns 50% of his economic rights and is looking for alternatives to strengthen the right-back position.

Remains on Barcelona's Agenda

Despite the rumors, Celta stated that they never received formal offers for the player, and Mingueza ended up staying at Balaídos. However, the uncertainty about his future seems to have taken a toll, and his role in the team has shifted, being used as a left-back in recent matches.

Looking ahead to next summer, Barcelona continues to have the defender on their radar, especially with the need to strengthen the right flank, as reported by the newspaper Sport. With a €20 million release clause, his return wouldn't be easy, but the option remains on the table, particularly if he continues to be a secondary choice for Giráldez for the remainder of the season.
