Transfer talk surrounding Oscar Mingueza is intensifying, with reports suggesting Newcastle are monitoring the Celta Vigo defender closely. The player has caught the attention of several scouts as other clubs prepare for a potentially active transfer window. Newcastle have laid out their intentions, but valuation and timing remain under debate. Marseille, Leipzig and Aston Villa are keeping tabs in case talks collapse or progress slows further. Across the season 25/26, Newcastle have let in 14 goals in 11 (1.27 per game), roughly in line with the Premier League average. Oscar Mingueza would be expected to give them some extra stability and depth for the tougher stretches of the season. Reports suggest Newcastle are monitoring James Garner, Igor Thiago Nascimento Rodrigues and Elliot Anderson whereas Celta Vigo have not been associated with other players at this stage.
