Will play for Mallorca Darder has been registered by Mallorca ahead of the 2023-24 Liga season.

Impact Mallorca have done a great job of strengthening their midfield before the start of the 2023-24 campaign, adding Samu Costa and now signing the former Espanyol star. Darder registered six goals and three assists for Los Pericos during the 2022-23 campaign and should see regular minutes for Mallorca, either as a central or attacking midfielder.

Impact Darder will finish the 2022-23 La Liga with six goals and three assists. He had twice as many goals but three times fewer assists compared to his 2021-22 season. Now with Espanyol relegated, Darder will have to choose whether to stay in Spain's second division or move out of it by switching teams. The latter is more likely, especially considering Darder's goal output was for a team that significantly struggled defensively, not offensively.
