Rafa Mir Transfer from Sevilla to Valencia

Valencia has decided not to exercise the purchase option for Rafa Mir, which is set at 5 million euros. Rafa Mir is currently on loan at Valencia from Sevilla.

Rafa Mir is currently on loan at Valencia.

Rafa Mir has been loaned to Valencia after a tumultuous year and a half relationship with Sevilla FC. He was previously loaned to Basaksehir in Turkey six months after his arrival.

Rafa Mir was also close to joining Valencia in the winter transfer window of 2023. An agreement was reached, but Sevilla changed the conditions at the last moment, leading Valencia to withdraw their offer. Rafa Mir even went to Sevilla's offices to seek explanations and requested Sevilla to apologize to Valencia and try to salvage the deal, but Valencia had already closed the matter.

Rafa Mir has been loaned to Valencia this summer with a purchase option of 5 million euros. If Valencia does not execute the option, he will have to return to Sevilla next summer. Rafa Mir has expressed frustration with Sevilla's management, particularly with President Del Nido Carrasco and sporting director Víctor Orta, for previously blocking his move to Valencia in 2023.

Rafa Mir has been loaned from Sevilha to Valência.

Rafa Mir has moved from Sevilla to Valencia. He expressed his desire to make Valencia great again and revealed that he had conversations with Rubén Baraja, who played a key role in his return.

The striker, trained in our Academy, arrives on loan until the end of the season and Valencia will have a purchase option. Rafa Mir was under the orders of our coach Rubén Baraja in the youth team in the 2014-15 season, where he scored 21 goals, and played a total of 8 official matches with the first team.

Rafa Mir has signed for Valencia. The transfer was a priority for Valencia's coach, Rubén Baraja, who previously coached Mir a decade ago. Mir will join Valencia's forward lineup, which includes Hugo Duro and Alberto Marí. Mir expressed satisfaction with the transfer, stating that his agent handled the entire operation.

Rafa Mir, who has been with Séville since 2021, has never managed to establish himself as a starter in Andalusia. The international U21 bronze medalist at the 2020 Olympics, who was formed at Valence and left for Wolverhampton in January 2018, is returning on loan for the next season.

Rafa Mir will play on loan at Valencia after resolving the last obstacle that was blocking the agreement between the Mestalla club and Sevilla. The issue was the agent's request for a 10% commission of the 5 million euros for the purchase option if Valencia decides to keep the player after June 30. A meeting on Tuesday allowed the parties to come to an agreement. The agent will receive a smaller amount than initially requested. Valencia will cover Rafa Mir's salary, which exceeds 3.5 million euros gross, and Sevilla will waive its intention to receive the annual amortization amount of 2.5 million euros.

Rafa Mir, 27 years old, is expected in Valencia. His loan to Valencia is pending a medical examination. His agent and Víctor Oltra have reached an agreement regarding the commission if Valencia exercises the option to buy for 5 million. The agreement between Valencia, the player, and Sevilla has been finalized except for the commission, which was resolved recently.

Rafa Mir will become the new forward for Valencia in the coming hours. Sevilla and the club from the capital of Turia reached an agreement for the loan of the Murcian attacker days ago. Documents were exchanged yesterday to make the loan effective. There was an issue regarding the agent's commission for the purchase option that Valencia can exercise in 2025, valued at five million euros, with a 10% commission. Sevilla initially refused to pay this amount, arguing that an agent cannot act as an intermediary in a deal with his own client. Eventually, they mediated directly with Rafa Mir to reach an economic agreement. Both clubs consider this an important operation to advance their plans and reduce their squad costs.

Rafa Mir, who currently plays for Sevilla, was in talks with Valencia. The player is ready to take a pay cut from 2 million euros at Sevilla to 700 thousand euros at Valencia. However, the transfer fell through at the last minute due to a change demanded by Mir's agent.

Rafa Mir's loan move to Valencia faced a setback in recent days. Both Valencia and Sevilla had agreed to the conditions of the operation, where Valencia would cover his full salary and Sevilla would not request the annual amortization amount of his signing. However, the agent of Rafa Mir demanded a 10% commission of the 5 million euros purchase option at the end of the loan, causing the transfer to be halted.

Valencia was expecting to announce the signing of Rafa Mir this week if Sevilla did not change the conditions again, as has happened in the last two transfer windows. The clubs had agreed on everything, but now an agent's commission issue has blocked the negotiations again. The commission is reportedly 10%, which means for a 5 million EUR transfer fee, 4.5 million EUR would go to Sevilla and 0.5 million EUR to the agent. This change has put the transfer in jeopardy again, similar to what happened in the summer and winter transfer windows. Valencia aimed to complete the document exchange and signing quickly to allow the player to undergo a medical examination and announce the loan agreement. They hoped he could start training under Rubén Baraja by the week of July 8th.

Sevilla and Valencia have agreed on the terms for a season-long loan of Rafa Mir to the Levantine club. Valencia will have the option to purchase him next summer for five million euros. Valencia will cover the player's entire salary, while Sevilla will handle the annual amortization of the 16 million euros transfer fee paid to Wolverhampton in 2021.

Valencia's third attempt to sign Rafa Mir is underway. The club has reached an agreement with the player, who is willing to lower his salary. The key part of the agreement is a loan with an option to buy before June 30, 2025. Valencia will pay Rafa Mir's full salary, and the option to buy is being negotiated to not be less than 5.5 million euros. Sevilla needs to reduce their wage bill and amortize the player's cost.

The coach of Valencia, Rubén Baraja, has made it a top priority for Rafa Mir to join the team next week for preseason. Valencia is negotiating an economic agreement with Rafa Mir, and they aim to strengthen their position in negotiations with Sevilla. Rafa Mir will need to reduce his salary significantly to fit within Valencia's strict wage structure. The agreement is reportedly well underway.

Rafa Mir has not played a minute in the last 100 days at Sevilla. There were plans for him to move to Valencia in the winter market, but it did not happen. The player wants to leave Sevilla and Valencia along with Rubén Baraja are planning to try his acquisition again, but at a lower price. The player has a contract with Sevilla until 2027.
