Barça has shown the exit door to Mingueza, 23, and the player’s environment is moving to find a good destination for him. His name has reached the offices of the Coliseum. Getafe, for the moment, has not made a move, but is evaluating the possibility of incorporating him on loan.
Mingueza is a Versatile defender who stands out as a center back but also acts as a right back. With Koeman he had a leading role. With Xavi he lost it.
Getafe now loses Cuenca, a central defender who was on loan and who they want but must return to Villarreal. The central Cabaco will also come out, for sure.
Mingueza would be a perfect alternative for Cuenca, as well as a generational replacement for Damián (34 years old).
Mingueza’s contract ends in 2023. Barça prefers a transfer or a loan with a mandatory purchase option. He hopes to get between five and ten million. Valencia requested the transfer of Mingueza in January, but they do not have money, just what Barça needs most and Getafe does have, who has just sold the Uruguayan Olivera to Napoli for 12 million in cash plus three possible variables.
