RCD Mallorca is going through a delicate moment at the beginning of this season, and aside from the results, the situation of Dani Rodríguez has set off all the alarms at Son Moix. The veteran midfielder, who was once one of the key players in the squad, now finds himself in the eye of the storm, with an increasingly uncertain future within the Balearic club.

At 37 years old, Rodríguez signed an extension until June 2026 a few months ago, a contract that seemed to guarantee his continuity and stability in the team. However, times have changed. Jagoba Arrasate, the coach of the red-and-black team, doesn't see him as a priority for his project and, as local media report, he would be willing to leave him out of the starting eleven in the next match against Espanyol, a crucial game to boost the morale of a team that is still winless in this LaLiga EA Sports 2025/26 season.

Mallorca Wants to Get Rid of Dani Rodríguez

The conflict goes way back. The relationship between the player and the club is said to have deteriorated after an internal argument that left wounds. Since then, the sports management sees getting rid of the player in the upcoming January transfer window with good eyes. In short, Mallorca aims to save on his wages and free up a spot in the squad that could be used for a signing that brings more freshness to the midfield.

Rodríguez, on his part, doesn't seem willing to leave in the short term. As reported by EstadioDeportivo, he has made it clear that he's not looking for a new team and that his desire is to fulfill the signed contract. However, signals coming from the dressing room and the bench suggest that his future at Mallorca is getting shorter. The idea that his departure could happen in the winter transfer market is no longer a rumor but a real and even desired option by the Balearic entity.

The problem adds to a very poor start to the season. Arrasate's team lost to Barcelona, drew with Celta de Vigo, and was defeated by Real Madrid at the Bernabéu, despite taking the lead. The lack of results has created a sense of urgency that doesn't help calm the situation of Rodríguez but rather exacerbates it.

In this context, everything points to the Galician midfielder bidding farewell after eight years wearing the red shirt. An exit that wasn't in the plans a few months ago but that, given the current tension, seems inevitable. The fans are divided: some think it's time to make way for new generations, while others believe Rodríguez deserves one last vote of confidence.

The truth is that Mallorca has a problem on its hands. Either they manage to reintegrate Dani into the project, or they will be forced to find an exit for him in January. With the team in crisis and the transfer market around the corner, all signs indicate that the club has already taken a stand: parting ways with the veteran to start a new chapter.
