Reporter: Barcelona hopes Celta sells Mingeza in order to get transfer share

July 5th reporter Óscar Méndez reported that Barcelona hopes Celta sells Mingeza so they can get a transfer share.

In the next few weeks, Mingeza will become the focus of public opinion. His contract with Celta will expire in 2026 and has not yet been renewed. The Catalan defender is the only player on the team who has not yet returned to the team for pre-season training and is still on vacation due to additional vacations in the UEFA finals.

There are three possible solutions for Mingeza's future. The first is to renew the contract and stay in the team. This seemed impossible option in January is gradually becoming possible over time. The team's outstanding record, the core position of the players and the fact that they get back their best in Celta have made the club cautiously optimistic about contract renewals. The two sides had informal contacts before, but had not yet begun substantive negotiations, and Celta's management hoped to advance the matter immediately.

choice plan is to leave the team with a transfer, but no club contacted Celta in recent weeks for inquiries. Previously, Aston Villa and other Premier League teams had intended to introduce them, especially in January this year, most people believed that the transfer was a foregone conclusion. It is worth noting that Barcelona plays a key role in this deal. As it can obtain a 50% transfer share, Barcelona continues to put pressure on player agents in recent months.

If Minggesa refuses to renew her contract and receives a formal offer, Celta will face a choice. The club insisted on a 20 million euro termination clause in January, but it was difficult to achieve with only 12 months left in the contract. If a offer is about 12 million (Celta actually gets 6 million), and rejection means that the player will leave the team freely next year, and the management must weigh the pros and cons.

The third possibility is that both sides are unwilling to see at the moment, that is, Mingeza stays in the team for another year without renewing the contract. The club is well aware of the value of the players and is willing to keep them with all their might, but cannot accept the result of losing both people and money next year. Although the player himself had a happy life in Celta, he did not want to treat the club like this. The coming weeks will be a critical period that determines Mingeza's fate.
