The Hercules squad is actively evaluating options to offset long-term losses in the locker room. Marcello Djalo discussed a potential acquisition while the club weighs available players. The Majorcan defender Joan Truyols has been left without a team after his contract with CD Badajoz expired. A formal offer has been prepared by the club’s technical secretary, and the only remaining step is the player’s affirmative response to join the group. If Truyols accepts the proposal and terms are agreed, the contract terms will be finalized this weekend. The federation retreat is being coordinated by a representative from the Bisauguinean community, ensuring proper administrative alignment for the move.

Truyols is a product of the youth system at international level and has spent much of his career abroad. He has worn the colors of Royal Mallorca and registered close to 100 appearances in the Second Division across his stints with Villareal’s second team and other clubs in the region. In 2016 he moved to Cyprus and joined AEK Larnaca, remaining there for five seasons. During that time he shared the pitch with Raúl Ruiz, who would later become Hércules’ captain in the 2019-2020 season. Truyols brings continental experience from European competition, including appearances in the Europa League, and has contributed to a promotion campaign with a top Spanish side in the past.
Truyols, who will be 33 in November, spent the previous year with CD Badajoz in the First RFEF. He was in contention for promotion to the Segunda Division until the final stages. He is a right-footed defender who offers strong ball progression, aerial presence, and solid defensive work, characteristics that were evident during his time in Cyprus where he scored 12 goals across 139 appearances.
Although he did not start every match for Badajoz, Truyols managed to score once and shared the pitch with other familiar faces, including former teammates Browne and Adrian Cuevas. His versatility makes him a viable option for both right-back and midfield roles, a profile the club values as they build versatility into the squad.
The club’s plans also include integrating a group of players who can contribute immediately while the roster is finalized. There is confidence that the Mallorcan player will complete the roster by Christmas, with the official number 18 already associated to the team’s plans for the upcoming season. Since mid-July, the first team has been actively progressing with preparations for the Hercules 2022-2023 season, coordinating player arrangements and training commitments.
