UD Las Palmas<\/strong> expires in June, and his future is still unclear. Currently, the Terrassa native has scored a couple of goals and provided an assist in 14 matches (1,186 minutes) with Luis Garc\u00eda’s team in La Liga Hypermotion.<\/p> The injury to Andreas Christensen and the doubts about how Ronald Araujo will return in January open the door to signing another center-back for the second half of the season, although Eric Garc\u00eda and Gerard Mart\u00edn have so far fulfilled the mission of accompanying Pau Cubars\u00ed in the heart of the defense<\/p>
How much would it cost Bar\u00e7a to bring back Mika M\u00e1rmol?<\/h2> Mika M\u00e1rmol left Barcelona’s reserve team in 2022 on a free transfer to Andorra. Las Palmas signed him a year later for 1.9 million euros, but **the Catalan club retained 50% of his sporting rights**.<\/p>
The center-back’s release clause was set at 10 million, but the player can negotiate as a free agent with any club starting next January 1st. Bar\u00e7a, in that regard, could bring him back for less than 5 million<\/strong>, considering his imminent contract expiration.<\/p> The 24-year-old footballer is valued at around \u20ac10 million on the specialized website ‘Transfermarkt’. Although paying a transfer fee for a footballer who would be a free agent six months later, the investment would be minimal and easily recoverable<\/strong> in the future thanks to the projection of the Catalan defender.<\/p> The advantages Mika M\u00e1rmol would bring to the Bar\u00e7a defense<\/h2> Furthermore, for Bar\u00e7a, Mika’s signing would offer another very interesting alternative for Hansi Flick to partner Cubars\u00ed in the center. M\u00e1rmol **would not have too many adaptation problems** thanks to his time at La Masia and the reserve team. Additionally, he prefers to play as a left-sided center-back, the position where Pau has felt least comfortable this season<\/p>
In 24\/25, Las Palmas’ ‘3’ played 30 of the 38 league matchdays<\/strong> (2,399 minutes), registering one assist and five yellow cards. His main strength is aerial play, but he is also a fast center-back who is secure in possession, in addition to being very strong in individual duels. <\/p> With the Canary Islands team, the one from Terrassa already has 83 official matches in two and a half seasons<\/strong>. Therefore, the club seriously fears his ‘free transfer’ departure next summer and will try to make a final effort to renew him in January.<\/p> Flick would give the ‘Ok’ to a signing of these characteristics<\/h2> Hansi Flick, for his part, would welcome the incorporation of a defender with Mika M\u00e1rmol’s profile. The manager is **very careful with the management of egos and merits in the squad** and would have no problem incorporating the Las Palmas center-back into his rotation plan.<\/p>
The technical staff’s idea, in fact, is to add players who increase quality and internal competition<\/strong>, as well as the number of options for various scenarios. M\u00e1rmol, like Gerard Mart\u00edn, can play as a left-back, which would make him another alternative to Alejandro Balde<\/strong> on that flank.<\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mika M\u00e1rmol remains a key player for Las Palmas and could be acquired at a very affordable price in the next winter transfer window, where Bar\u00e7a is not ruling out going for another center-back The board of FC Barcelona could once again consider the possibility of bringing back Mika M\u00e1rmol in 2026.
