🚨 Official: Dani Rodríguez and Mallorca part ways

Mallorca announced this Thursday that Dani Rodríguez is no longer part of their squad.

After seven and a half seasons at the club, Dani, who until a few months ago was one of the captains, brings his time as a “bermellón” to an end.

Everything blew up when he publicly complained that Jan Virgili was playing ahead of him and when he rebelled against some of Jagoba Arrasate’s decisions.

From that point on, he was sidelined. Then, 'Onda Cero' announced this past Saturday that the player went to collect his belongings at the training ground, and now it’s official that he will no longer continue at the club.

This is how the player said goodbye: 

"The only word that keeps coming to mind is thank you. The only thing I can give to the people, to the fans, not just the Mallorca supporters but also Mallorcans in general, is thanks. We have been very happy for such a long time. My wife, my children, and I are privileged to have spent so much time on such a beautiful island. I can only give thanks because I have felt your affection from the very first day to the last. I hope I have returned that affection through hard work, sacrifice, and by valuing every day I wore this shirt. I have defended it during many matches, and I believe that from the first day to the last, I defended it as best as I could and as I knew how."

"Fortunately, I have had some great moments here. The first promotion was magical for everyone, not just for me. And my first goal in La Liga, which was right after our return to the top division. And I think one of the most magical moments, which almost ended in glory, was that goal in the Copa del Rey final. It was a magical moment. The noise from the crowd, how they shouted for the goal, and all the noise from the Mallorca fans, the twenty thousand who were there. It was a unique moment."
