One player who could move in 2025 is Oscar Mingueza. The 25-year-old defender had a remarkable start to the season with two goals and three assists in the opening rounds, and his goal output has since dried up, his impressive performances for Celta Vigo continuing.
One way or another, Mingueza’s scenario will most likely be resolved next summer. Celta need to obtain the remaining 50% of his rights from Barcelona while also providing him with a contract beyond the expiration of his current contract, which ends in 2026.
However, it is possible that he could end up being sold before that happens if a club pays the €20 million release clause in his contract. Relevo reports that RB Leipzig has joined the race to sign Mingueza, whose sale would bring in the much-needed sum of euros. 10 million to Barcelona.
It remains to be seen where Mingueza will end up betting his football in the 2025-26 season. Celta are desperate to retain theirs and while he is unlikely to return to Barcelona, it is possible that the Catalans will have a say in the move process.
