Aston Villa, West Ham United and Newcastle United are in the mix to sign Celta Vigo’s Óscar Mingueza.
On November 12th, AS reported Aston Villa, West Ham and Newcastle United are keen on the defender. The Villans’ interest isn’t new as they weren’t successful in their efforts to sign him a year ago.
The La Liga side are concerned of losing the 26-year-old as he has six months left on his contract. That’s according to Estadio Deportivo, and they cover the Premier League trio’s interest.
Estadio warn Celta Vigo sporting director Marco Garcés that he can’t ignore players with expiring contracts. There are currently seven and they are all eligible to sign a pre-contract with another club.
Among these, Mingueza’s case is the difficult one for the La Liga side, largely because he has ‘numerous offers’.
The 26-year-old earlier said he’s happy and his desire is to continue at the Spanish club. However, he’s yet to commit his future to Celta Vigo.
Estadio state it’s an ‘open secret’ that Aston Villa, West Ham, Newcastle United, AC Milan, Atalanta, Como and Marseille are all ‘willing to take advantage’ of his situation. These clubs are ready to offer him a salary higher than what Celta Vigo can propose.
