Liverpool are getting ready for a busy transfer window despite being the favourites to win the Premier League title. They were knocked out of the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League and also lost the final of the EFL Cup against Newcastle United. Meanwhile, the Reds also have plenty of departures to think about. Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold’s contracts expire this summer, and they might be leaving the club for free at the end of the season.
Liverpool want Oscar Mingueza as Trent Alexander-Arnold’s replacement
Reports have revealed that Alexander-Arnold is set to leave for Real Madrid this summer. This will be a huge loss for the Reds because the Englishman has been one of their most important players and has been responsible for the club winning titles. Fichajes has reported that the Merseyside club want Celta Vigo right-back Oscar Mingueza in the summer. The Spaniard has a €20 million release clause in his contract, which is well within the reach of Liverpool.
Oscar Mingueza is a defender who has quietly carved out a reputation as a versatile gem. At 6’0”, the Spaniard is not the tallest, but his game is built on smarts and skill. A La Masia product, his ball-playing ability is his strength; crisp, progressive passes flow from his right foot, often sparking attacks.
Mingueza is a natural centre-back but thrives as a right-back or wing-back, bombing forward with purpose and delivering dangerous crosses. His tackling is tidy, his positioning is sharp, and he has a knack for reading danger early. Now 25 and starring at Celta Vigo, Mingueza’s qualities of composure, creativity, and grit mark him as a modern standout.
Mingueza has conceded 33 goals and kept 6 clean sheets in 25 matches in the La Liga 2024/2025 season. That means when the Spaniard is on the pitch, his team concedes a goal every 60 minutes. Moreover, he has made 1.32 tackles and 0.76 interceptions for every 90 minutes he was on the pitch. Mingueza has also scored three goals and provided five assists.
Will he be a good signing?
For a Liverpool fan, losing Trent to Real Madrid this summer will sting. He has been their heartbeat, driving them to trophies. Fichajes says Liverpool are eyeing Celta Vigo’s Oscar Mingueza as a replacement, and I reckon he’d fit nicely. His €20m release clause is a bargain, and his versatility—right back or centre back—plus his crisp passing and attacking flair echo Trent’s style. At 25, he is ready to step up. Solid shout for Liverpool!
