Official: Barcelona reserve buyback clause and sell-on percentage for outgoing defender

Barcelona have finally officiated Oscar Mingueza’s move to Celta Vigo. The defender is one of the first fringe players to leave the club in the month of August, with several others set to follow suit.

Mingueza has signed a four-year deal with Celta Vigo, who have paid a fee of just €3 million. But despite the low valuation, Barcelona have secured a few important clauses that may prove to be beneficial in the future.

For one, the Catalans have reserved a buy-back clause in Mingueza’s deal, enabling them to re-sign the defender at any given point in the future.

Speaking of the future. Barça have reserved the 50% sale on fee as well, meaning the club are entitled to half of Mingueza’s future sale fee, should Celta Vigo look to move him on.

Mingueza, for his part, will be delighted with the agreement as he has longed to play for Barcelona’s first team ever since his breakthrough in professional football.

In the meantime, though, the academy graduate will be looking forward to the prospect of playing for Celta Vigo, who are currently going through a major overhaul this summer.

With the prospect of guaranteed first-team football, Mingueza will be looking forward to making a name for himself in La Liga next season.

The defender might be joined by his former Barcelona teammate Martin Braithwaite, with Celta Vigo one of the clubs in contention to sign the Danish international.
