Overview
- Espanyol confirmed a season-long loan of 23-year-old Antoniu Roca to Real Mallorca with a non‑obligatory option to buy reported near €2 million.
- Roca is a right-footed winger who came through Damm and Espanyol’s academy and has seen his playing time fall in recent months, prompting the temporary move.
- Mallorca lost Asano and Javi Llabrés this summer and currently relies on Zito Luvumbo and Justin Kalumba on the flanks, with Roca set to add depth and vertical pace.
- The club has offered Jan Virgili an improved contract but he has not yet replied, a situation that has reinforced Mallorca’s push to recruit external wide players.
- The loan gives Roca a clearer path to regular minutes while allowing Mallorca to test the player before a modest transfer fee would be required to sign him permanently.
