You may have noticed that the Weekly Summaries went on a summer break along with the players. Well, now they’re back. Every Monday, all you dedicated fans will be able to read the smaller news stories not quite big enough for a full article on the website.

But you don’t have to wait until Monday as everything posted in the Weekly Summary is posted as it happens on our Twitter. You can follow us by directing your browser to http://twitter.com/real_mallorca.

Monday 20th June 2011
  • Just to clarify, Real Mallorca have NOT yet signed Tomer Hemed. They have agreed terms, but no pen to paper and no medical yet.

  • Tomer Hemed will arrive in Palma on Thursday to undergo a medical and sign the contract, Serra Ferrer has said.
  • Most aspects of the deal have been agreed, but the two parties disagree on length. Mallorca want 3 and 4th optional. Hemed wants 4 years.
  • Meanwhile, the club have received no offers for Chori Castro. Serra Ferrer is thinking about attempting to renew his contract so no bosman.

Friday 8th July 2011
  • Llorenç Serra Ferrer is deciding whether to sign Diogo or Juan Valera for the right back role.

  • Dani Benítez turned down Granada’s offer of a two year extension to his contract, saying he wishes to feel valued.

  • In the past couple of minutes, RCD Mallorca have confirmed that they will open disciplinary proceedings against Pierre Webó.
Tuesday 19th July 2011
  • Webó is extremely close to a €1 million move (likely to be) to the Premier League. There’s been quite a bit of movement in last few hours.
  • Laudrup is unsure of the capabilities of Gianni Zuiverloon and José Nunes. He believes Nunes lost it towards the end of last season. (although, perhaps he should look in the mirror in that respect).
  • Serra Ferrer is targeting a central defender as well as a striker.
  • Laudrup has told Serra Ferrer that the CB should provide competition to Nunes and not be to replace Ramis.
  • The Board of Directors has also been reshuffled. Jaume Cladera as President, Pedro Terrasa as Chief Executive and Serra Ferrer as Sporting Director. They acknowledged faults in the way the club has been running and the reshuffle is to address these.

Friday 29th July 2011
