A number of the best Menorcan players made moves in the Spanish pyramid in the summer.

Arguably the most promising player from the island, Xavi Sintes, made the decision to leave Real Madrid to join Sevilla.

After struggling to get regular game time with Real Madrid Castilla, he opted to move on and sign a three-year deal with Sevilla, where he has been playing regularly for Sevilla Atletico.

A Youth Champions League winner and a regular with Spain’s youth teams, Sintes has realistic ambitions of becoming a regular in La Liga.

Mahon midfielder Ruben Martinez has had a fine start to the campaign with his new club Albacete.

Martinez, 31, was named the league’s player of the month in September after scoring twice in his side’s four games that month.

Albacete currently sit third in the RFEF Primera Division Group 2 table.

Midfielder Andreu Hernandez, 24, moved to Barcelona side UE Cornella in the summer, having previously been with Real Mallorca and Levante.

He has made four starts in the new RFEF Primera Division, with six further appearances from the bench to date.

Striker Jon Bautista, previously the other Menorcan in La Liga with Real Sociedad, is on loan at Segunda Division side Leganes this season. Sociedad won the delayed 2020 Copa del Rey final earlier this year but were relegated from the top flight.

Another forward, Aitor Pons, has moved on from UD Poblense after five seasons to join Merida in the RFEF Segunda Division.

Ciutadella centre forward David Camps is currently top scorer at CE Mercadal in Tercera Division, having joined them in the summer from AD Llerenense.

Experienced midfielder Pedro Capo signed for RFEF Segunda Division side CD Eldense from CE Sabadell, who he had previously helped to Segunda Division.
