TEAMtalk reports that Everton had representatives in Girona to watch Celta Vigo defender Oscar Mingueza. According to sources close to the situation, Everton is tracking Mingueza, and his contract expires this summer. There is widespread interest in Mingueza from across Europe, with clubs from Italy and Germany also monitoring his situation as the summer window approaches. Mingueza is expected to be a significant subject in transfer discussions as Everton considers its defensive options.

According to information from Graeme Bailey, Everton is monitoring Celta Vigo right-back Óscar Mingueza, who is 26. The four-time Spain international has a contract that is due to expire at the end of the season, a situation that could make him available for a reduced fee. Mingueza, who joined Celta in July 2022, has made 14 appearances in LaLiga this season, providing one goal and two assists. His current market value is listed by Transfermarkt as €18.00m. Other clubs, including Aston Villa and Olympique Marseille, have also recently been linked with the defender. Although his release clause was reported as €20 million throughout 2025, a report from November 2025 suggested that a January transfer could be secured for €8 million.
