RCD Mallorca is preparing for the LaLiga Hypermotion season with a focus on returning to the Primera División. Analysts have identified the club as a contender for promotion, with betting odds from Casino Gran Madrid placing them as a potential candidate at 6.0, following Girona and Oviedo.

To manage financial constraints and salary cap requirements, the club implemented an economic containment plan. This resulted in a LaLiga Hypermotion transfer record, generating 64.2 million euros in sales. Key departures included Samú Costa (22 million euros to Al-Nassr), Vedat Muriqi (15.5 million euros), and Jan Virgili (12 million euros). Other notable sales included Leo Román, Cyle Larin, and Pablo Maffeo.

Mallorca opened their campaign with a 2-0 victory against Real Valladolid at the Estadio Mallorca Son Moix, followed by a scoreless draw against CD Eldense at the Nuevo Pepico Amat. The latter match raised questions regarding the team’s ability to finish chances away from home.

In a move to bolster the squad, the club recently held a joint presentation for five new signings: Adrián Liso, Adam Buksa, Alberto Moreno, John Chetauya, and Guillermo Fernández. Veteran defender Alberto Moreno addressed the squad size, noting that while nearly 30 players might be excessive, a large roster is necessary to manage a 42-match season. Moreno emphasized that high levels of internal competition will push performance and expressed strong confidence in the club’s goal to return to the Primera División.
