Celta Born in
Vigo, Galicia, Mina played youth football with his hometown club
RC Celta de Vigo, and made his senior debut with
the reserves in the
2012–13 season, in
Tercera División. On 5 January 2013, he signed a professional deal running until 2018. Mina made his first-team – and
La Liga – debut for them on 16 February 2013, coming on as a
substitute for
Iago Aspas in the 66th minute of a 3–1 away defeat against
Getafe CF. He scored his first top-flight goal on 16 September, but in a 3–2 loss at
Athletic Bilbao; at only 17 years, 9 months and 10 days, he became the side's youngest goalscorer in the first division. On 11 April 2015, Mina scored four goals in a 6–1 home rout of
Rayo Vallecano, becoming the youngest player in the last 80 years to do so in the
Spanish top tier and the first from Celta since 1979.
Valencia On 4 July 2015, Mina moved to fellow league team
Valencia CF after agreeing to a six-year deal for a €10 million fee. He scored his first competitive goal for them on 5 December, netting four minutes from time in a 1–1 home draw against
FC Barcelona. On 18 February 2016, in only the first 45 minutes, Mina scored twice and provided three
assists in a
UEFA Europa League last-32 tie against
SK Rapid Wien, in an eventual 6–0 win also at the
Mestalla Stadium (the
half-time result was a competition record). Mina scored a career-best 12 league goals in
2017–18 as Valencia came fourth, despite being more often than not a substitute for
Simone Zaza and
Rodrigo; halfway through the campaign, the trio had 12 more goals than
Real Madrid's "BBC" attacking line. The
following season, he netted braces in
Copa del Rey victories over
CD Ebro (
round of 32) and
Sporting de Gijón (last 16) as his club picked up their first honour for 11 years, being unused in the
2–1 final defeat of Barcelona on 25 May 2019.
Return to Celta After four years at the
Mestalla Stadium, Mina returned to Celta on a five-year contract as
Maxi Gómez moved in the opposite direction. In
2020–21, he scored 12 goals in partnership with Aspas' 14; this included both goals of a 2–1 win at Barcelona on 16 May to end that team's title hopes. In July 2022, Celta reached an agreement to loan Mina to
Aris Thessaloniki F.C. of
Super League Greece, but the player refused the deal, as he did with
Shabab Al Ahli Club from the United Arab Emirates. On 23 August, he joined the
Saudi Pro League's
Al Shabab Club on a one-year loan for a fee of €2.5 million and salary of €1 million. He scored on his debut as a substitute three days later, concluding a 3–0 home win over
Al Batin FC. Mina's contract was unilaterally terminated on 4 August 2023. The following month, he was close to a move to
Serie B club
UC Sampdoria, until the fans revolted over the news. ==Personal life==
