Celta Vigo would prefer to sell Oscar Mingueza to RB Leipzig as they would be willing to loan Mingueza back to the club for the remainder of the season. Other outlets have stated that Leipzig have withdrawn from the race for Mingueza.

The portal Relevo has reported that Leipzig is showing interest in acquiring Óscar Mingueza from Celta de Vigo and is prepared to offer 20 million euros for the transfer. This financial move would positively impact Barcelona's budget, as the club holds 50% of the player's rights. The deal could see a quick progression and potentially reach completion in the upcoming winter transfer window, with the strong rapport between Leipzig and Celta playing a supportive role, as evidenced by the previous loan of Ilaix Moriba to Celta last summer.
