Omar Mascarell’s Contract Situation at Mallorca: A Complicated Dilemma

Mallorca remains stagnant in the transfer market as they search for a winger. Meanwhile, there are other pressing matters that need addressing. It is well-known that Omar Mascarell, a key player for Arrasate in the midfield, will see his contract expire on June 30. For over two weeks, the Tenerife native has been free to negotiate with any club, yet his stance has been clear: he is waiting for Mallorca.

However, patience can wear thin, and Omar is feeling both disappointed and hurt by the club’s lack of a firm renewal proposal. Currently, he has received an almost irresistible offer that nearly triples his salary compared to what he earns on the island, along with a mid-term contract. This offer comes from a club outside of Europe that is also willing to pay a transfer fee for the player during this winter market, even though he will be a free agent in just five months.

At 32 years old, and having showcased significant performance this season while being a vital component of the Basque coach’s plans, the Tenerife pivot anticipated a solid commitment from the club, which he would have prioritized over any other offer. Unfortunately, the reality has shifted, and Mascarell is now contemplating a move towards a project and country that appeal to him.

Mascarell does not wish to leave amid conflict. There is a transfer offer on the table that would allow Mallorca to earn money from a player who joined for just over 500,000 euros, and he wants to depart with dignity. He has always expressed a desire to remain at the club and has stated on numerous occasions that he is happy at Son Moix, feels significant, is committed to the project, enjoys life on the island, and is respected by the fans. Yet, given the current circumstances, a reversal seems unlikely, and the conclusion of the transfer market will determine how this situation unfolds.
