The defensive midfielder has never found his feet at Schalke and is finding first-team appearances almost impossible to come by and has made just four Bundesliga appearances this term.
Apparently, Stuttgart are now hoping to sign Mascarell on a loan deal that includes a purchase option but with Benjamin Stambouli ruled out for weeks with a broken cheekbone, Schalke may want to hold on to the 25-year-old.
