The Most Anticipated Sale at Barça Announced: Imminent - Laporta Tells Flick

FC Barcelona will receive half of a very high-profile sale to Leipzig.

Barça is preparing moves for the upcoming January transfer window. The aim is to secure the definitive registration of the players who will no longer be part of the first team after 2025. To do so, significant help will come from Germany, where Leipzig have prepared the money to immediately pay Óscar Mingueza's release clause .

Óscar Mingueza will leave Celta in January , according to Relevo . He will do so to go to Leipzig, who will pay the 20 million euros that appear in his termination clause . Of this figure, FC Barcelona will receive half without having to lift a finger , as a result of the clause that was agreed upon in his sale years ago.

In 2022, Celta didn't pay a single euro for Mingueza, but in his sales contract it was agreed that Barça would've a right to buy back and a percentage of his sale . In total, this percentage is 50%, which means that, of the 20 million of his termination clause, 10 'kilos' will go directly to the culers coffers .

These 10 million for Oscar Mingueza will be key to achieving important transfers in La Liga , such as those of Olmo and Pau Victor. Barça is preparing various economic operations to end these problems and, in addition, immediately return to the long-awaited 1:1 rule.

Hansi Flick Already Knows That Oscar Mingueza Will Not Return... but He Will Leave €10M

Throughout the campaign, there have been strong rumors about the possible return of Óscar Mingueza to Barça. In fact, even Hansi Flick has thought about it and has spoken about it with Laporta and Deco . But the plan is clear: the future of the side is at La Masía and the Catalan's move is now considered definitively concluded.

So, it's all but decided at Barça. Leipzig will be given the green light to pay Oscar Mingueza's release clause in January . Of those 20 million euros, Joan Laporta will see the blaugrana team receive half of it immediately. Some 10 million euros will be very welcome in Barcelona's coffers to make other moves.
