Matías Almeyda has been clear since his arrival: Rafa Mir is not part of his plans for the upcoming season. The Murcian forward has become one of the discarded players in the new project of Sevilla FC, a decision that is also shared by the sporting director Antonio Cordón. Both have informed the attacker that he will not have playing time in the 2025/26 season, opening the door to a departure that the club is already managing.
Despite this situation, the former Valencia and Wolverhampton player clings to his contract, which runs until 2027, with two more seasons ahead at a rate of four million gross per year. In terms of sports, the numbers do not support him: in the last two years, he has barely had any prominence in the league, accumulating just over a thousand minutes and trailing behind his competitors in the forward position.
He is completely ruled out, he is not in the plans
During this preseason, his absence in the most recent friendlies, such as the match against Schalke 04, confirms that he is completely out of the group dynamics. While other attackers like Akor Adams or Kelechi Iheanacho are scoring goals and gaining confidence, Mir remains in the background, without prominence or opportunities.
According to Superdeporte, his market value has plummeted, and Sevilla is working to find an exit that reduces their wage bill. Despite the player showing commitment on social media, the reality is that his time at Nervión seems to be coming to an end. All that remains is for a convincing offer to appear.
