The website "Fichajes" confirmed that Atletico Madrid has shown strong interest in signing Oscar Mingueza, the defender of Celta Vigo, during the upcoming winter transfer window.

The Catalan player represents one of the key pillars in his team this season and is considered an ideal addition to Diego Simeone's playing style due to his versatility in defensive roles and his ability to play as a center-back or right-back.

Atletico Madrid is closely monitoring Mingueza's contract situation, as his contract with Celta Vigo expires in June 2026, and the club is considering making an offer of around 5 million euros to secure his signing before he can negotiate with other clubs for free in the summer.

For its part, Celta Vigo's management is striving to retain their player and not let him go for a low price, especially since Barcelona holds 50% of his economic rights, which reduces the financial benefit for the club if he is sold.

Atletico Madrid sees Mingueza as an ideal opportunity to strengthen the team's defense with a player in full readiness and experience in La Liga, in a strategic move that could have a significant impact on the trajectory of both teams during the second half of the season.
