Mateu Morey joins Girona as right-back through 2028

Girona are moving fast in the final stretch of the window and have now added reinforcements to the right-back position. As Mundo Deportivo reports, the club has made Mateu Morey’s signing official. He arrives from Mallorca and has agreed a contract running for two seasons, until June 2028.

The 26-year-old is brought in to add experience to a spot that had been left weakened after the departure of Arnau Martínez to Valencia. In the same coverage, the outlet also underlines that this move comes after the earlier addition of Javier Boñar, giving the squad two different profiles: one for youth and upside, and another for immediate know-how.

Experience for the right side

Morey’s background brings plenty of context for the level Girona are aiming at. The player is returning to Catalonia after his formative years at Barcelona, where he was part of the Juvenil team that won the Youth League in 2017/18 before heading to Borussia Dortmund. In Germany, he made the jump to senior football, featuring in 32 matches for Dortmund’s first team and 18 for the reserve side, while also being involved in squads that won the German Super Cup in 2019 and the German Cup in 2021.

Injuries have also played a role in his path, and summer 2024 saw him decide to return to his homeland and join Mallorca. Over the last two seasons he logged 38 official appearances and one goal; in 2025/26 he played 21 times, 18 of them in LaLiga.

A quick fix for a key question

With this signing, Girona gain more options for a position that had been one of the major uncertainties for the squad just days earlier. As Mundo Deportivo frames it, the move helps Quique Álvarez build depth with the season’s main goal being to get back to LaLiga as soon as possible.
