Gelsenkirchen (AP) - Captain Omar Mascarell has clearly known himself to FC Schalke 04 and denied transfer rumors.

“I'm not someone who leaves the ship when things go bad.

I see it as my responsibility, especially as the captain, ”said the 27-year-old professional footballer in an interview with the Spanish“ Marca ”(Thursday).

"The club and I know that I want to stay and do my part."

According to media reports, the Spanish top club Valencia CF should be interested in signing Mascarell.

He knows that “important Spanish clubs” are interested.

«Every interest is a compliment.

But I don't think about it in the short term.

I'm concentrating on Schalke right now, ”said the Spanish midfielder.

"At some point" he will return to Spain, said Mascarell.

"If I do, it's because there is something that gets my attention, and it's a good step in my career."

The midfielder comes from Real Madrid's youth.

From 2016 to 2018 he played for Eintracht Frankfurt and then moved to the Revier.

He still has a contract with the relegation-threatened Bundesliga club until June 30, 2022.
