Celta Vigo are in talks to sign Barcelona defender Oscar Mingueza.

The La Masia graduate was left out of Barca's US preseason tour as management encouraged him to find a new club.

Barcelona and Celta Vigo club have now reached a deal, says Sport. It will be around 2 million euros plus a certain percentage of a future sale.

Mingueza gave the nod to leave for Celta, a club with ambitions in Spain and who showed a big interest in his arrival. He will likely play a lot there and progress as a player, which is his priority.

Other sides like Valladolid, Getafe and Girona had showed interest in him but Celta is the club who came in strongest and that swayed his choice. There are still some parts of the contract to resolve but barring a radical twist, the player will move to Galicia.
