Barca to benefit from Mingueza potential move to Aston Villa

Oscar Mingueza could have his days numbered at Celta. Aston Villa are already pushing hard to sign the Celta defender, who has a more than accessible release clause of 20 million euros, as reported by Matteo Moretto, journalist of ‘Relevo’.

The aforementioned source says that the Birmingham side are willing to pay that amount to get the services of the player, who will have the final say when it comes to accepting the proposal of the team coached by the Spanish Unai Emery.

Aston Villa's head of operations, Monchi, was present on Friday in Vallecas to see Mingueza, who played a good game despite Celta's 2-1 defeat. The Spanish official is determined to sign the Catalan, a player that has been on his radar for some time.

Barcelona are keeping a close eye on the defender's situation, as they could be in line to make a profit as they have 50% of the player's sporting rights. In the event that the Villans pay the release clause, the 'Cules' would get 10 million euros.
