Celta Vigo is facing a significant loss with the imminent departure of Óscar Mingueza. The versatile defender, who has been part of the club for four seasons, will not renew his contract that expires at the end of this month. The lack of contacts for a renewal has led to speculation about his future, and rumors suggest that Mingueza may be heading to the Premier League. Two English teams, Arsenal and Newcastle, are leading the race for his signing. Arsenal, the current champions of the English league, has the backing of their coach, Mikel Arteta, who shares a connection with Mingueza as they were both trained at La Masía. If this option materializes, Mingueza could return to the Champions League, a competition he already played in with FC Barcelona. On the other hand, Newcastle is also showing strong interest, although they will not compete in European competitions next season. Marco Garcés, Celta's director of football, had already hinted that the player's future might lie in a more financially powerful league. Additionally, Juventus of Turin is presented as an alternative outside the Premier, being mentioned by journalist Fabrizio Romano as one of the clubs with the highest chances of signing the Spanish international.
