FC Barcelona is keeping an eye on the market with the intention of strengthening its squad for the upcoming season. Deco, the club's sporting director, has identified the addition of a winger and two full-backs as a top priority. Among these options, the name of Óscar Mingueza has once again gained prominence in the club's offices.

The current defender at Celta de Vigo has started the season in great form, standing out as one of the most effective full-backs in LaLiga. With 2 goals and 5 assists in this early stage of the campaign, the La Masia product has surprised many. This performance has not only earned him a call-up to the Spanish national team but also sparked renewed interest from Barça, which hasn't forgotten his development in the youth ranks.

A quite affordable signing for Barcelona

Mingueza has a release clause of 20 million euros, but Barcelona retains 50% of his federative rights, which would allow them to bring back the player for just 10 million. As reported by 'Sport,' this figure, seen as a market opportunity, positions the full-back as an interesting choice to provide rest for Jules Koundé, who currently monopolizes the position in Hansi Flick's team.

Although Héctor Fort, another La Masia product, is emerging as an alternative at right-back, his adaptation to the first team is gradual, leading Barcelona to explore all possibilities. Despite a modest recent display against the Blaugrana, the club continues to closely monitor Mingueza, acknowledging the progress he has shown away from Camp Nou. With an affordable option to strengthen the flank and bring back a homegrown player, Mingueza's return could be a strategic move in the sporting project of the Culés.
