In the latter nation, to where he arrived in January 1999, he was relegated from La Liga in his first season, then became an undisputed starter as the Canary Islands side returned to the top flight in 2001, under Rafael Benítez.{{cite news|url=https://elpais.com/diario/2001/06/18/deportes/992815220_850215.html|title=Rafa Benítez y la revolución juvenil|trans-title=Rafa Benítez and the youth revolution|newspaper=El País|first=César|last=Fernández Trujillo|language=Spanish|date=18 June 2001|accessdate=15 April 2020}} With its Balearic Islands neighbours he managed to be relatively used during two years, helping them win the 2003 edition of the Copa del Rey.{{cite news|url=http://elpais.com/diario/2003/06/29/deportes/1056837603_850215.html|title=Eto'o pone Mallorca a brindar|trans-title=Eto'o has Mallorca toasting|newspaper=El País|first=José|last=Miguelez|language=Spanish|date=29 June 2003|accessdate=5 April 2016}}
