Mainz 05 triggered on-loan Mallorca forward Sheraldo Becker's buy-out clause..

Mainz 05 announced on their official website on Saturday that they had triggered the buy-out clause of on-loan Mallorca Surinam international forward Sheraldo Becker.

According to Mainz's official statement, Becker's buy-out clause was automatically triggered as the club avoided relegation.

After completing the transfer procedures, Becker, who was interviewed by the Mainz official website again, said: "I'm really looking forward to staying at Mainz 05 next season. The team makes me feel right at home; I knew Urs Fischer and some of the coaching staff when I played for Union Berlin."

"The city, the club, everyone around the club, especially the fans, have shown the kind of passion for football that I cherish. Everything feels incredibly familiar. Who knows where this journey we've embarked on together will lead us?"
