Soumahoro Heads to Mallorca on Loan

Transfer Details

German club Hamburger SV has sent 21‑year‑old defender Aboubaka Soumahoro to Spanish second‑division side RCD Mallorca for the 2026/27 season. The agreement is a one‑year loan, announced by HSV on Friday. Soumahoro’s previous loan spell at AS Saint‑Étienne ended without a single appearance, leading to this new move.

Season Outlook

At Mallorca, the youngster expects to find regular playing time after a fallow period in France. The Spanish outfit gives him a stronger chance of featured matches compared to staying on HSV’s sidelines. The loan is positioned as a key development step for Soumahoro’s career.

HSV Perspective

HSV sporting director Claus Costa said Abou’s loan at Saint‑Étienne did not unfold as hoped, and consistent minutes are crucial for his growth. The club sees RCD Mallorca as the right venue for him to earn those minutes. Costa emphasized that HSV will keep a close eye on the defender’s progress throughout the loan year.
