Mascarell’s move from Elche to Mallorca edges closer, with transfer terms under discussion
The discussions around Omar Mascarell are shaping up as a possible cross-season move. After signaling his intention to explore options, the veteran midfielder has found common ground with Mallorca on several fronts. The deal centers on Mascarell seeking a fresh start in the top tier, while Elche seeks a financially viable exit that reflects the club’s current situation in the league. The dialogue between the two clubs continues to focus on a transfer that satisfies both sides and avoids a lengthy transfer stalemate. [Source: Franjiverde]
Mallorca has expressed willingness to cover Mascarell’s transfer cost, initially placing the mid six-figure to seven-figure euro range as a potential starting point, with the release clause acting as a safety net should negotiations stall. The exact amount has not been finalized, but the aim is to reach an agreement that aligns with the midfielder’s ambitions and Elche’s financial needs after relegation. The conversation is ongoing, with both parties aware that a mutual understanding would benefit all involved as the season approaches.
However, the two clubs acknowledge the importance of a deal that feels right for Mascarell and secures Elche a reasonable return that can be reinvested in the squad for the next campaign. The balance of asset value and competitive readiness is at the heart of the negotiations, and both sides are prepared to move toward a resolution rather than prolonging the process.

The contract terms previously in place included a high release clause, but after Elche’s relegation the club has adjusted the clause to reflect new circumstances. The revised amount is lower, though Mallorca remains cautious about the overall investment. Elche recognizes the risk of losing a player who had been central to the club’s plans and has weighed the potential financial return against the strategic value Mascarell provided during his renewal efforts last season. The negotiation process suggests that the two clubs are inching toward a practical solution that satisfies the player and preserves the financial health of Elche.
The prospect of Mascarell returning in a future period would complicate the deal, as a move away now could be the most sensible path for all parties involved. If the transfer closes, Monsieur Mascarell would enter a new chapter with Mallorca, while Elche would receive compensation that could be reinvested in upcoming signings. The parties are evaluating timing and structure to ensure a smooth transition. [Source: Franjiverde]
Negotiations indicate that an agreement could emerge at a mid ground, allowing Mallorca to secure Mascarell for multiple seasons while offering Elche a fair financial outcome under current market conditions. Club insiders have hinted that positions are near convergence and that a formal announcement could follow once the final details are aligned. The outcome may see Mascarell not featuring in Elche’s preseason, signaling a clear shift toward a Mallorca affiliation as the deal moves toward completion. [Source: Franjiverde]
