Overview

  • RB Leipzig confirmed on Monday that it paid the €2.5 million release clause to free Martín Demichelis from his recently extended Mallorca contract and signed him through June 2028.
  • Mallorca announced Demichelis’s departure after he took charge in February, managed 12 matches and could not prevent the club’s relegation to Segunda División.
  • Demichelis posted a public farewell on Instagram saying he felt it was time to take the next step in his career and that Mallorca would receive proper compensation.
  • RCD Mallorca has begun an urgent search for a successor with Luis García now the leading candidate following his official exit from UD Las Palmas on Monday.
  • A segment of Mallorca’s supporters reacted with hostile messages online, leaving the club to manage reputational fallout while using the payout to plan for promotion and squad rebuilding.
