Oscar Mingueza is one of the Barcelona players present at the beginning of his football career.
Since the arrival of Xavi Hernandez, the versatile Catalan central defender has played little with Xavi since the player came from Igar to the bench at the Camp Nou.
Both the club and the technical staff have been clear that the best thing for him is to leave this summer and play with another team.
Mingezza, who was about to leave in winter on loan to “Valencia”, has a contract until June 30, 2023. In this season, he played 1331 minutes spread over 26 games, and his important role was only when Koeman was coach.
After Xavi arrived in Barcelona, the player’s level declined, so Barcelona had to offer him for sale. Many La Liga teams wanted him, as well as foreign teams. However, the Barcelona administration assured that they will not give up the defender for free or leave him. Although his record is not very high, but this should not be an obstacle for leaving to another team.
Barcelona is asking for five to ten million euros for the player, although it can also use him as a swap to reduce some of the operations in which the club operates.
Mingueza made his first-team debut on November 20, 2020 in a Champions League match against Dynamo Kyiv under Koeman. He was an active player with the first team. He was important and gave a great performance in his first season, playing 39 official matches. He won the King’s Cup, playing a key role in the final against Athletic Club. In his second year in the first team, his performance declined, especially after the arrival of Xavi.
