Winter 2025 Transfer Window - hopes, speculation, rumours etc.

Rather have the money then a player thats no where near durans level

[steamer]

So we should take someone who can not get into their team and say thank you !
Sounds like Levy is advising them

Paris St-Germain are set for talks with Aston Villa over a cash-plus-player swap deal involving France forward Randal Kolo Muani, 26, and Colombia striker Jhon Duran, 21.

You can guess which wankstain site the above "knowledge" came from before the BBC picked it for their gossip page.

Cool, if they want Duran then it's £100m. If they want to include Kolo Muani as well, then we can call it Kolo Muani plus £97m.

Aston Villa are interested in Óscar Mingueza.

A right-sided centre back, full back.

Aston Villa are interested in Óscar Mingueza.

€20m release clause, apparently. https://x.com/Aaronvalden77/status/1876002120383791463

So £16.5 million...pretty cheap for a 25 year old right back these days...if he's any good of course. I think Moreno was about £13 mill and a few years older. Digne £25 mill, Cash £16 mill.

Seems he can play in lots of places. Celta play with 3-4-3 or 5-4-1 a lot but he has appeared on the left or right this season and scored or setup a few. I picked out two early games where he scored and assisted.
 
3-1 win against Valencia,
Played LM/WB.
Poor defensively at 0.47
Lovely goal at 1 min.
Lovely assist at 1:13

3-4 loss against Villareal
Lovely shot at 1:04 but keeper.....(plus we get his full name mentioned for pronunciation and mention he likes to hit from distance.) Also doesn't show the pass but he almost set up another straight after on highlights.
Lovely cross assist from deep right at 2:25.

That looks like a classic case of agent putting rumours out there (given that it says Celta want to renew his contract with a higher release clause).

A bit more from Romano on it. https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1876214157151981607

Cheers looks like there might be legs to that. Dont know much about him  but hearing he can play in a few positions is appealing

EDIT

This sounds promising  about him

Joe Gauci is expected to leave on loan this month — interest from KVC Westerlo.

Haven't ever watched him but Mingueza, on paper, looks a far more attacking option that I'd have expected us to go after, looks very good going forward but maybe a bit suspect in defence.

[Tuscans]

Aston Villa intends to negotiate the price of signing Óscar Mingueza, although they do not rule out paying his release clause (€20m).
