Mascarell becomes Schalke 04's fifth summer signing, following in the footsteps of Mark Uth, Salif Sane, Suat Serdar and Steven Skrzybski by making the move to the Veltins Arena.
He spent the majority of the 2017/18 season injured after damaging his achilles tendon, but returned to help Eintracht beat overwhelming favourites Bayern Munich to lift the DFB-Pokal cup at the end of May.
