Mallorca are looking for a right-back in the final days of the transfer market. The aim is to find a reliable substitute for Pablo Maffeo , allowing the player to rest in certain matches of the season. This need has become a priority for the team, which is looking to strengthen its defence for the upcoming challenges in LaLiga.
Mallorca coach Arrasate is considering options that fit the team's needs, both in terms of performance and budget. One of the most talked about options is the return of a player they already counted on before. The Osasuna defender was already on loan at the Balearic club, although at the time the purchase clause of 350,000 euros was not activated, an affordable price for Mallorca.
The possible return of Nacho Vidal to Arrasate's team
Nacho Vidal , currently in the ranks of Osasuna, is emerging as an attractive option for Arrasate and his new project in Mallorca. Nacho Vidal is a right-back with experience in LaLiga, who already knows the dynamics of Mallorca well after his previous loan. This time, the Balearic club is seriously considering his incorporation, especially due to his ability to adapt and previous knowledge of the team.
Last season, the club decided not to exercise the purchase option, but the circumstances are different now. The lack of alternatives to give Pablo Maffeo a rest has led Arrasate to rethink his strategy in the transfer market. The possible arrival of Vidal would not only offer greater depth in the squad, but also healthy competition for the position.
Arrasate's vision and the need to strengthen the defense
Arrasate, aware of the challenges facing Mallorca this season, knows that he needs options in defence to keep the team competitive in all competitions. Nacho Vidal fits the profile of the player that the coach wants: experienced, physically fit and knowledgeable about the style of play that he wants to implement.
The deal could be finalised in the next few days if both clubs manage to reach a favourable agreement. For Mallorca, it would be an opportunity to strengthen its defence with a player familiar with its environment, while Vidal could return to a team where he has already shown his worth. The next few hours will be key to knowing the outcome of this possible transfer.
