Martín Demichelis reportedly set to leave RCD Mallorca after RB Leipzig offer
Martin Demichelis is reportedly leaving RCD Mallorca for RB Leipzig after accepting an offer, sources say; both sides have yet to issue official confirmation.
Martín Demichelis is reportedly set to depart RCD Mallorca following a late offer from RB Leipzig, sources in the Balearic Islands say.
The report, first aired by Radio Marca Baleares and presented by content director known as "El Negro" González, says the coach has considered an offer he found impossible to reject.
Radio report sparks surprise around Mallorca
The initial claim emerged on Friday morning during a live broadcast on Radio Marca Baleares, where the station’s content director relayed that Martín Demichelis had decided to leave the club.
Listeners and supporters were reportedly taken aback by the announcement, with the story described as having been handled privately until the radio disclosure.
Alleged RB Leipzig approach and the coach’s rationale
According to those familiar with the situation, RB Leipzig made a formal offer to Demichelis that the coach evaluated as highly attractive on sporting and professional grounds.
Sources say the proposal included terms that prompted the Argentine to consider a move, with the package described as difficult to refuse in view of career progression and new challenges.
Mallorca’s internal awareness and the sporting director’s position
Club sources indicate that RCD Mallorca learned of the developing situation only after the radio disclosure, which appeared to catch local officials off guard.
Reports point to a limited circle around Demichelis being aware of his intentions, a dynamic that left the sporting director, Pablo Ortells, detached from the immediate decision-making that preceded the announcement.
Unsettled details: contracts, exit terms and timing
At present, key contractual elements remain unclear, including whether Demichelis has activated buyout clauses, received permission to negotiate, or reached any separation agreement with Mallorca.
Legal and financial processes, if taking place, are expected to determine the timing and formalities of any departure, with both the coach’s representatives and the club reportedly preparing for negotiations.
Potential impact on Mallorca’s preparations for LaLiga Hypermotion
Should Martín Demichelis leave, Mallorca will face a rapid managerial recruitment exercise ahead of the new LaLiga Hypermotion campaign, with planning and preseason work at risk of disruption.
The uncertainty would force the club to accelerate contingency plans for staff appointments, training programs and potential tactical recalibration for the coming season.
Reactions from supporters and the wider Spanish football community
Mallorca fans reacted swiftly to the reports, with local social channels reflecting a mixture of surprise, disappointment and pragmatic acceptance given the nature of top-level coaching moves.
Across Spanish football outlets, the story has been framed as significant because of Demichelis’s recent work stabilizing Mallorca and raising expectations for the club’s performance.
What comes next: confirmations, negotiations and successor options
Both RCD Mallorca and Martín Demichelis have yet to issue formal statements to confirm the reports, leaving the situation in a state of public speculation pending official communications.
If the move to RB Leipzig proceeds, the club will need to identify internal or external candidates capable of stepping into the role quickly, while also managing contractual settlements and public relations.
Martín Demichelis’s reported exit, if confirmed, would mark an abrupt turning point for Mallorca’s sporting project and test the club’s capacity to respond decisively during a critical transfer and preseason window.
