FC Barcelona remains alert to the market in search of young reinforcements, with potential and who can arrive at an affordable cost. In this context, a familiar face has returned to the table: Mika Mármol, current defender of UD Las Palmas. According to user @Sergi288 on X, Deco and Barça's sports management are seriously considering his return to Camp Nou.
Mika Mármol, Barça's Hidden Gem
Mármol, 23 years old, is one of the great news stories of the season at Las Palmas. Under the orders of Diego Martínez, the left-footed center-back is indispensable as an undisputed starter in a team fighting to avoid relegation. His profile, formed at La Masia, fits perfectly with what Barça is looking for: a central defender with good ball distribution, tactical awareness, and the ability to also play as a left-back.
The sports management sees Mármol as a real alternative to strengthen the defense and, above all, to compete with Alejandro Balde on the left flank. It is true that there is Gerard Martín, but a profile that can cover multiple positions in defense is very interesting. The option of signing a player who knows the system, the club, and is performing in the First Division is more than tempting.
A Condition for Mika Mármol
Additionally, the operation could be closed under favorable conditions. Barça retains a percentage of economic rights over Mármol, which could significantly reduce the transfer cost. Everything points to a possible return with strategic and sporting sense, provided that Las Palmas is relegated to Segunda.
Although the market's spotlight is focused on other more high-profile names, in the offices of Camp Nou there is consensus on the potential of Mika Mármol. Silently, Deco has kept him under the radar as a solid option to strengthen a defensive line that needs rotation and future.
Madrid-Barcelona can confirm that, barring an unexpected turn, Mika Mármol is one of the best-positioned names to reinforce Barça this summer. A return that makes sense, Barça profile, and increasingly closer. He would be delighted and would look very favorably on the possibility of finally debuting with FC Barcelona's 'seniors'.
