Aston Villa are closing in on a deal for Barcelona defender Oscar Mingueza as manager Unai Emery looks to bolster his backline this January transfer window.
Aston Villa are close to signing Barcelona defender Oscar Mingueza this January transfer window. 25-year-old Mingueza, a product of Barcelona ’s academy, can play across the backline, including at left-back, which is appealing to Villa manager Unai Emery . The club are also continuing talks with Borussia Dortmund over a deal for Netherlands international winger Donyell Malen.
Villa were eager to add a versatile right-sided defender last summer but were unable to agree a deal for Feyenoord’s Lutsharel Geertruida. The club is thought to have a little more wriggle room this time around but Emery has already warned they must remain “intelligent” in the market, with outgoings possible in order to balance the books. Fenerbahce are interested in Diego Carlos but the Brazilian would only be sold if an effective replacement could be sourced, with Villa currently light at the back due to Pau Torres being ruled out for two months with a broken foot
