RCD Mallorca have completed the signing of experienced left-back Alberto Moreno on a free transfer. The 34-year-old defender has put pen to paper on a contract until June 2027, with an option for a further year, the club confirmed on Monday.
Moreno arrives to fill the void left by Johan Mojica's departure to Getafe. He will wear the number 5 shirt and joins after his spell with Italian side Como ended. Speaking to Diario de Mallorca, the player said the club's project was the key factor. "I like this challenge of being able to take the club to where it deserves to be, which is the First Division," Moreno stated.
Alberto Moreno brings top-level experience to a defence that already included Toni Lato and Orejuela at left-back. His attacking profile and strong left foot offer a different option. Manager Luis García has already spoken with the new signing about his playing philosophy, based on possession and high pressing, a style Moreno said aligns with his understanding of the game.
Mallorca's squad for this campaign can be viewed on our squad page. Moreno joins a team that, according to current data, holds a mid-table position in the Segunda División standings. The club aims to improve its performance in the upcoming matches, the full schedule for which is on our fixtures page.
Moreno comes to Palma after a career on major stages. He won the Champions League with Liverpool in 2019 and lifted the Europa League twice, with Sevilla and the Reds. Last season he helped Como secure qualification for top European competition. That experience in high-pressure matches is a valuable asset for a team pushing for promotion.
The defender describes himself as a hard-working and humble footballer, eager to help his teammates on and off the pitch. He believes unity between the squad, club, and fans is essential to achieve the common goal of returning to the top flight.
With Moreno's arrival, RCD Mallorca concludes its eleventh summer signing. The club has made moves to offset several departures and add depth to a squad facing a long season. The full-back will need an adaptation period to reach peak fitness, but his signing bolsters a position that had been weakened.
