RCD Mallorca has closed the summer transfer window with a 29-player squad built to compete for direct promotion to LaLiga. The Balearic club completed their business at Son Moix with the signing of youngster Guille Fernández. The team, managed by Luis García, currently sits fifth in the Segunda División standings with six points, just one point behind leaders Granada CF.
The closure of the registration period on September 1st at 23:59 marked the end of an intense squad overhaul. Sporting director Pablo Ortells noted that "the bulk of the planning was practically finished before the final day of the market". The sales of players like Muriqi and Samu Costa generated significant economic capacity that the club has used wisely, paying direct fees for only three signings: Adrián Fuentes, Josep Cerdà, and the aforementioned Guille Fernández.
Who is the final signing?
Guille Fernández arrives from La Masía for approximately three million euros and signs a contract until 2031, with 50% of his rights shared with FC Barcelona. The midfielder, who debuted at 15 years, 9 months and 13 days in March 2024, became the youngest debutant in his former club's history. He played 22 matches for Barça Atlètic in Segunda Federación, scoring one goal and providing one assist, plus three UEFA Youth League appearances with one goal and two assists.
In total, he has 40 matches, seven goals and two assists in Spain's third tier. He has been called up to the FC Barcelona first team and has represented Spain at youth levels. His technical profile fits the playing philosophy Luis García wants to implement at Son Moix.
How is the squad structured?
Coach Luis García confirmed he "will have at his disposal 29 players, without counting Jandro or Aimar Peña". The squad offers multiple alternatives per position and allows for bench modifications. It consists of three goalkeepers, nine defenders (potentially ten with Orejuela), twelve midfielders and three forwards, with the flexibility to use Luvumbo in attacking roles.
Of the 13 new arrivals, most came via loan deals with purchase options, a formula the club has employed to strengthen without compromising financial stability. This approach keeps options open for the next winter window, which reopens on January 1st, 2027. Fans can check the full squad composition on our squad page.
What are the team's objectives this season?
The stated goal is a return to Primera División, where direct rivals like Levante, Elche and Málaga currently compete. The team has started the campaign with two wins and one loss from their first three games, showing a recent form of WLW. In attack and defense, they have scored five goals and conceded only two, giving them a +3 goal difference.
This early solidity is key to maintaining pressure on the teams occupying the direct promotion spots. The next test comes on Saturday, September 5th against Eldense, who currently sit 20th in the table. All fixture details are available in our fixtures section.
The 29-player squad represents RCD Mallorca's definitive bet on regaining their top-flight status. With a competitive group and various tactical options, the team faces the coming months with the ambition to fight for the top positions in Segunda División.
