Squad31 Aug 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Iván Cuéllar

141 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Mallorca lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market31 Aug 2026

Osasuna come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Mallorca did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market31 Aug 2026

Business is business: Jan Salas goes

Eibar paid $3.0M and Mallorca took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Atlanta United FC tell Mallorca: Elías Báez is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Match29 Aug 2026

Antony the difference as Mallorca beat Levante

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Antony. 1‑0 against Levante, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Ninety minutes of Antony at his very best

Marked 8.09. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Mallorca.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Too much change too quickly at Mallorca

9 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

The view from the dugout

“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Carlos Cano, on a 1‑0 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.

Squad31 Aug 2026

David López falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

In brief

  • The dugout Somebody else is better right now than Abdón Prats
  • Squad International call for Antony
  • Player ratings Nobody could get near Adam Buksa

Squad17 Aug 2026

The knee: Iván Cuéllar out for 155 days

155 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Mallorca lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

$20.8M settles it between the clubs for Jens Petter Hauge

Bodo/Glimt have accepted the money. What Mallorca do not yet have is the man, and between here and the photograph is a conversation about wages that both sides are dreading.

Market17 Aug 2026

Antony is a Mallorca player

The fee is $42.0M, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Betis drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Door shut on Dean Huijsen

Mallorca asked and Real Madrid said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Mallorca

Antony and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The terraces17 Aug 2026

The town asked, and Mallorca paid $42.0M

Antony was the name on every phone-in, and the club has gone and signed him for $42.0M. For one week the board can do no wrong, which is a week most boards never get.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Aboubaka Soumahoro falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Mallorca say no to the training-ground money

The plan went upstairs and came back down. Nothing about that will make a headline anywhere else, and everybody who works at the training ground will remember it for years.

Looking ahead17 Aug 2026

Sergi Darder faces his old club

Espanyol next, and one man in the Mallorca dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

Squad3 Aug 2026

10 seasons of Antonio Raíllo

460 appearances across 10 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and Mallorca know what they have.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Mallorca make their move for Xavier Biscayzacú

$960.0K on the table at Defensor Sporting. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Market3 Aug 2026

Sergi Darder wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Mallorca hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Sergi Darder stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Sergi Darder and Mallorca agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Mallorca bid $380.0K for Fernando Bravo

The offer went to Independiente Rivadavia this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Mallorca

Sergi Darder was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Door shut on Nicolas Rios

Mallorca asked and La Equidad said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad3 Aug 2026

7 new faces, and Mallorca are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

Pablo Torre knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Mallorca, and both men came out saying it was fine.
