Rafa Mir

Rafa Mir is, at 20 years old, one of the gems of Valencia's youth academy, having played in no less than 5 matches with the first team last season. But since the summer, as he has not renewed his contract that expires in June 2018, he has been the subject of many reports about his departure.

In fact, Marcelino García Toral recently confirmed that he has decided not to promote him to the first team until his contractual situation is normalized. This decision came after the player rejected offers presented to him by the Valencia team.

At Mestalla, there has been concern for months that the interest shown by Real Madrid in signing him might sway the balance. And there are increasing signs that point towards that outcome, confirmed in this case by OK Diario in the last few hours.

According to this media outlet, the player would have given the green light to Real Madrid, who have the signing on track, although nothing can be officially announced until January. According to the aforementioned media outlet, Valencia may have even given up on him.
