Spanish international Óscar Mingueza, defender of Celta Vigo, expressed his sincere desire to remain with the team and extend his current contract, which expires on June 30, 2026.

These statements come at a time when other European clubs, including his former club Barcelona—which holds a 50% stake in any future transfer—are awaiting his final decision.

Mingueza, who is a key player in Celta Vigo's lineup and often plays as a right-back, emphasized that his choice will depend on personal comfort and stability, not just financial aspects. He openly stated that he prefers the stable environment at Celta Vigo over other tempting offers, saying: "I know that if I stay here, I won't earn the same salary as I would elsewhere, but personally, I am also looking for some peace of mind."

Although he emphasized his desire to continue, the player did not specify the percentage chance of reaching a final agreement regarding the extension, noting that talks are currently ongoing.

Mingueza emphasized the need to fully focus on current sporting commitments, specifically the important European match against Bulgarian team Ludogorets, affirming that a victory in this game would bring the team closer to the next stage of the competition.

Minguiza considered that the long journey to Bulgaria would not be an excuse for any lapse in performance, urging his teammates to focus on the pitch to achieve a positive result.
