Trent Alexander-Arnold has been linked with a move away from Liverpool, with Oscar Mingueza emerging as a potential replacement.
There have been reports that Trent Alexander-Arnold has decided to join Real Madrid in the summer as a free agent. According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Liverpool are now lining up potential replacements for the English international, and they have identified Oscar Mingueza as a potential target.
The versatile Spanish defender has a €20 million release clause in his contract with Celta Vigo, and he could prove to be an excellent acquisition for Liverpool. Meanwhile, he was also a target for Premier League clubs in the winter transfer window, with Aston Villa coming close to securing his services.
Oscar Mingueza has done quite well in La Liga, and he could be open to moving to the Premier League. The versatile Spaniard is a key player for Celta Vigo, and he has the qualities to do well in the Premier League.
The 25-year-old has three goals and five assists to his name this season. The reported €20 million asking price seems quite reasonable for a player of his qualities, and Liverpool would do well to secure his signature. They have been linked with other potential options as well, and it will be interesting to see who they end up with.
Alexander-Arnold is a world class player, and his impending departure will certainly come as a blow for Liverpool, but he is not irreplaceable. Despite his world-class passing abilities, his defending leaves a lot to be desired, and Liverpool will aim to bring in someone who will add more defensive stability to the side, making Oscar Mingueza a viable target.
Mingueza is good enough for Liverpool
Oscar Mingueza has shown his qualities in Spain, and it will be interesting to see if he can adapt to English football quickly and hit the ground running in the Premier League if the move goes through. Liverpool are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they have been fighting for major trophies consistently. The opportunity to join them can be quite exciting for any player.
If the 25-year-old manages to adapt to the Premier League quickly, the €20 million deal could look like a major bargain in the long term. Liverpool have done well to bring in exceptional bargains over the last few seasons, and Mingueza could prove to be another shrewd acquisition if they can get the deal done.
