Rumours have it that Mallorcan First Division football club, Real Club Deportivo Mallorca, has been sold.

The club was originally founded in 1916. In 1945, the club moved to its new premises, Es Fortí (shown above), now known as Lluís Sitjar. Since 1999, however, RCD Mallorca plays its home matches in Son Moix, now known as ONO Estadí.

The current president is Vicenç Grande Garau, who declared a 600,000,000 € insolvency with his construction enterprise last month, will presumably have to step down to make room for the new owner, a British investment group led by one Paul Davidson.

If the sale is confirmed, it will be the fourth time in 15 years that RCD Mallorca has changed ownership.

RCD Mallorca finished the 2007-08 season with a no. 7 position, narrowly missing the lucrative UEFA Cup competition.
