Rafa Mir, a 29-year-old forward from Sevilla, is already traveling to Greece to complete his loan to Aris de Salónica. The deal will be finalized during this final stretch of the summer transfer window, with the Andalusian club taking on part of the player's wages, who is under contract until June 2027.

The move represents a solution for all parties involved. Sevilla reduces their wage bill with a player who was not part of the sporting plans for the 2026/27 season, while Mir will have the opportunity to continue his career in Greek football.

Rafa Mir leaves Sevilla on loan

The deal is structured as a one-season loan, coinciding with the final year of the forward's contract with Sevilla. Additionally, the Sevillian club will continue to cover a portion of the player's salary to facilitate the agreement with Aris de Salónica, a formula that has helped unlock the negotiation.

In recent weeks, Mir had been training separately from the team after being excluded from Luis García Plaza's plans. The sporting director had been working for some time on an exit to reduce the squad's costs and make room for new signings in the forward line.

The forward joined Sevilla in 2021 from Wolverhampton but never managed to secure a regular starting spot. Following subsequent loans, the club deemed a new departure essential in this summer transfer window.

The accusation and the court permission to play in Greece

Rafa Mir's departure comes weeks after the sentence issued by the Provincial Court of Valencia in the ongoing legal proceedings involving the player. The decision is not final and has been appealed by the defense.

The Court recently authorized the forward to establish his residence in Greece to pursue his professional activities there while the appeal is pending. As a precautionary measure, he must report monthly to the corresponding Spanish consulate.

The accusation and the legal situation have shaped his sporting future throughout the summer. In fact, the Spanish market ceased to consider his acquisition, and interest from abroad ended up being the most viable option for all parties involved.

Aris de Salónica set to finalize the agreement in the coming hours

Aris de Salónica is looking to complete the paperwork and formalize Rafa Mir's arrival once the forward clears the final steps of the operation. In the Greek team, he will share the dressing room with Loren Morón, another Spanish forward already competing in the Greek Super League.

For Sevilla, this loan represents another step in their economic restructuring process ahead of the transfer window closure. If no setbacks occur in the next few hours, Rafa Mir will be tied to Aris de Salónica until the end of the season, while the Seville club continues to seek new departures and reinforcements to complete their squad.
