The name of Óscar Mingueza has begun to ring in the corridors of FC Barcelona as a possible reinforcement for the right-back position. From the offices of the Spotify Camp Nou they are studying the possibility of incorporating a reinforcement for a position in which they only have Jules Koundé as a guarantee, and the great start to the season of the former Blaugrana at Celta de Vigo has managed to get the sports management to add him to the list of potential players for the club.
And the fact is that the La Masia youth player is going through the best moment of his career. Under the orders of Claudio Giráldez, the footballer has reached an outstanding level, getting Luis de la Fuente to include him in his list of players called up for this last international break. The Catalans can buy him back for a figure close to 9 million euros, so he is presented as a more than attractive alternative to shore up the right side of the defence.
In the midst of his peak form, the 25-year-old player spoke to the 'MARCA' newspaper in an interview where he explained the secrets of his great form and spoke about his possible return to Barcelona. "It is never easy to leave a team as big as Barça, with the sentimental value that it had for having been there for 15 years. It is something difficult but I faced it with the utmost enthusiasm and desire," the Catalan admitted about his departure from the club.
His possible signing for Barça
When asked about the possibility of returning to the Blaugrana, Mingueza played it cool, assuring that he was focused on his present at Celta. "Right now I am not worried about anything. I am focused on my own," he said, making it clear that his priority is to have a good season at Balaídos.
"I have things very clear, I know what I want and right now it is to be at Celta and have a very good season on an individual and collective level"
"... the coach and the board know what I want, I have things very clear. I am focused on having a good year and on Celta," said the footballer, who chose not to 'get involved' in the interest of the Blaugrana institution.
The person responsible for his great moment at Celta
Finally, Oscar gave a large part of the credit for his great current form to the coach of the Galician team, Claudio Giráldez. "I think he has a lot. He is the coach with whom I have had the most affinity in terms of thought, idea, with whom I have most agreed when it comes to understanding football. I like to think very much like him, both in the good and the bad. I am very grateful to him and to the entire coaching staff. I think they are doing very well and being from the club helps," he concluded.
