On 17 September, Mallorca and Sporting de Braga reached an agreement for the loan of Murilo de Souza to the Spanish side for the rest of the season with an undisclosed option to buy.[5] Mallorca also reached an agreement with forward Yannis Salibur over his contract termination,[6] and later on, announced the transfer of Jordi Mboula from Ligue 1 side AS Monaco.[7]

On 20 September, Mallorca drew 0–0 away against Vicente Moreno's Espanyol.[8]

On 27 September, Mallorca achieved their first win of the season in a 1–0 home victory against CE Sabadell, a late goal from Dani Rodríguez was enough for the Balearic side to claim victory.[9]

Additionally the Balearic club has the option to buy another 10%.[10] The deal was agreed on 24 September, but his arrival was delayed by the lack of flights between Argentina and Spain due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[11] It was also announced that Mallorca had terminated Pablo Chavarría's contract.[12]
