Real Madrid are believed to be putting themselves back in the hunt to sign Wolves loanee Rafa Mir, according to reports in Spain,
Mir Galactico-bound?
The 23-year-old was ostracised during his time at Molineux having only made four appearances in a gold and black shirt, and is currently on loan at La Liga side SD Huesca until the end of the season.
Mir has been turning heads in his homeland though with six goals in 21 appearances during the 2020/21 campaign, which equals the tally that Barcelona star Antoine Griezmann managed so far.

As a result of this, Defensa Central reported that the Spaniard is being seen as a cheaper alternative to Paris Saint Germain star Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland at this time – due to the global pandemic cutting potential transfer spending.
This comes after the Galacticos tried to sign Mir while he was at Valencia on various occasions, with Nuno Espirito Santo securing his services for £1.8m in 2018.
Transfer Tavern Verdict
With the arrival of Willian Jose from Real Sociedad, Mir may have fallen further down the pecking order and Wolves could take full advantage of this.
Having purchased the in-form striker for such a low fee, Fosun could make a significant profit when Real Madrid come calling – that is if Wolves are willing to sell.
We think it is too early at this stage as many outcomes could occur from this situation. Based on Mir’s form this campaign, there is every chance he could feature for the Black Country club next season if Willian Jose fails to impress.
In other news, Wolves star who “really didn’t recover” makes admission after Nuno’s “big disruption.”
