Overview
- Multiple outlets citing BBC reporting say Arsenal have been told Óscar Mingueza could leave Celta for nothing this summer, with fresh reports that intermediaries have sounded out Arsenal and Liverpool.
- Celta sporting director Marco Garcés said the club have made an offer and are waiting for the defender to decide, adding that he has not replied yet.
- The 26-year-old is a Barcelona academy graduate with 66 senior games for Barça and 135 for Celta, and he can play right-back, other defensive roles, and even in midfield.
- Interest is widespread, with previous links to Juventus, Liverpool, West Ham, Newcastle, Aston Villa and Marseille reported by several publications.
- A free move would erase a reported 50% sell-on benefit for Barcelona and could give Arsenal low-cost depth if Ben White moves on.
