Mario De Luis’s move to Girona falls through
The deal that would have taken Mario De Luis to Girona has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Mallorca with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Facundo Popolizio: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Mallorca have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Simone Ianesi has one foot out of the door
Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Mallorca they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Maroan Sannadi in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Mallorca this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets11 Sep 2034
Mallorca rebuffed over Arnau Tenas
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Aston Villa have kept their man, and Mallorca go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Maroan Sannadi knocks on the manager’s door
“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Maroan Sannadi trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
