Liverpool want free transfer deal for versatile LaLiga star

Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing Celta Vigo defender Óscar Mingueza on a free transfer, according to a report from AS. The 26-year-old is being considered as a potential target for the club.

Mingueza is described as a versatile defender capable of playing as either a right or left wing-back in a 3-4-3 formation or as a traditional full-back. This versatility is seen as a key asset, offering multiple tactical solutions for Liverpool manager Arne Slot.

The pursuit is linked to Liverpool's ongoing search for a reliable right-back this season, following Trent Alexander-Arnold's departure to Real Madrid. The report notes that players including Conor Bradley, Jeremie Frimpong, Joe Gomez, and Dominik Szoboszlai have all been deployed in that position during the current campaign.
