Oscar Mingueza responds to Barcelona return transfer talk

Oscar Mingueza has played down talk he could leave Celta Vigo and return to former club Barcelona.

The defender has been mentioned as a possible target for Barcelona as the club hold a buyback option on him and are short of options at right-back.

Mingueza has now been asked about the speculation and says he’s happy where he is for now.

“Right now I’m not worried about anything. I’m focused on what I do,” he told Marca.

“I have things very clear, I know what I want and right now it’s 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’m focused on having a good year and on Celta.”

Mingueza and Joshua Kimmich are the two names the rumor mill is currently throwing around regarding right-back options for next season. For the current campaign it seems Jules Kounde will continue with Hector Fort as back-up.
