Exclusive: Aston Villa and Newcastle United eye €20m deal that would benefit Barcelona
Under Unai Emery, Aston Villa have regularly looked to the La Liga market, and they are expected to do so again this summer. But for one of their targets, they will face significant competition. The likes of Alex Moreno and Andres Garcia have arrived at Villa Park from Spanish football during Emery's tenure, and another full-back could also be set to join the Premier League side this summer: Oscar Mingueza. Several clubs considering summer move for Oscar Mingueza Sources have told Football España that Mingueza remains on the radar of a number of clubs across Europe. Aston Villa, RB Leipzig, and AS Roma are taking concrete steps toward securing his signature, while Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United are considered as alternative options. Image via Cordon Press Aston Villa, who considered a move for the Celta Vigo defender in January, are targeting Mingueza to strengthen the right-back position in their squad, which is considered weak. Meanwhile, RB Leipzig and AS Roma appreciate the defender's versatile ability to play in either full-back position. In the cases of Nottingham Forest and Newcastle, they have evaluated Mingueza as a potential signing. However, they are believed to be considering alternative options at this stage. Celta desperate to keep him, Barcelona hoping for sale Mingueza has a €20m release clause in his Celta contract, and that figure will be enticing for those clubs interested in the Spain international. However, the Galicians – who secured Europa League qualification last weekend – are currently in the process of trying to agree a new deal with their player, with his existing deal set to expire in 2026. Celta will be desperate to keep Mingueza, but on the other hand, Barcelona will be desperate for a sale. The La Liga champions have a 50% sell-on clause for the defender as part of the deal that saw him go to Balaidos three years ago, so they would net €10m in the event of a summer sale.

Barcelona on alert as defender addresses transfer speculation
Oscar Mingueza is having a fine season, and because of this, the former Barcelona defender has started attracting strong interest from clubs across Europe. Because of this, Celta Vigo could have a very tough job on their hands to retain his services for the 2025-26 campaign and beyond. Clubs in England and Germany have been credited with an interest in Mingueza, who is available on the market for €20m, as that is the value of his release clause. Barcelona will be monitoring the situation as they have 50% of the 25-year-old's rights, meaning that they would pocket half of the transfer fee – or equally, they can sign him for €10m, which could be a good idea given that they are in the market for a new right-back. Despite all of this speculation, Mingueza is solely focused on Celta. He is keen to have a good final few months of the season, of which he should play a big part for Claudio Giraldez's side. 'I've always said that I'm very happy here. Things have been talked about this winter market, but personally I have been focused on my own thing, on doing my job as best as possible to help the team. I really want to have a good year, to finish this season very well.' Mingueza also spoke on Celta's 2-1 victory over Leganes on Saturday, during which he scored his third goal of the season – it is also a result that has seen the Galicians move into eight place in the La Liga standings. 'In the second half we didn't have as much control of the game, but we were better defensively. We are on the right track, but we have to take it game by game because there is still a long way to go.'
