Miguel Ángel Ramírez, president and majority shareholder of Las Palmas, recently revealed that Barcelona intended to re-sign Mika Mármol in January of this year and was prepared to pay 5 million euros for the transfer, but ultimately changed their decision.

Mika Mármol played for Las Palmas between 2023 and 2026, primarily as a centre-back, but occasionally as a left-back. When Las Palmas first signed him from Andorra, they reached an agreement with Barcelona, who held related rights: the player joined on a free transfer, and Barcelona retained 50% of any future transfer fee. Mika Mármol subsequently signed a 3-year contract with a €10 million release clause.

Although Las Palmas received numerous offers for Mika Mármol, the player remained at the club. In January of this year, he came very close to returning to Barcelona.

Ramírez stated on the podcast "Helado Oscuro": "In January this year, Barcelona wanted Mika Mármol. They were willing to pay 5 million euros, but then they made a different decision."

Ramírez revealed that this was also the reason Mika Mármol was confused at the time, as the deal was considered nearly complete.

"Mika knew at that time that Barcelona wanted to negotiate his transfer, and this deal would have been very beneficial for us."

Ultimately, Mika Mármol did not return to Barcelona in the winter transfer window. That summer, he moved to Feyenoord and has already played against his former club Barcelona in the first round of the Champions League this season for Feyenoord.

Ramírez also stated that if Las Palmas had been promoted to LaLiga last season, the club would have had little hope of retaining Mika Mármol.

"Before it was confirmed that we would remain in Segunda División, he had not clearly decided which team he wanted to play for. If we were still in Segunda División, we could not afford the kind of contract that other clubs could offer him."
