Wolves attacker Rafa Mir is reluctant to move to Real Zaragoza, as he is reluctant to play in the Spanish second tier, El Periodico de Argon have reported.
Mir has made just four appearances in all competitions for Wolves since moving to Molineux from Valencia in January 2018, and spent last season on loan in the Spanish Segunda division with Las Palmas, where he scored seven goals in 30 appearances.
It was recently reported by the same outlet that Mir had been offered to Hull among other Championship sides as a potential loan option for the coming campaign, and this could boost the Tigers' chances of signing the attacker for next season.
The 22-year-old has three years remaining on his contract with Wolves, and the Premier League side are keen to give him the opportunity to experience regular game time elsewhere next season.
It now appears that Mir is prioritising a move to either La Liga or the Championship, pushing Zaragoza down the pecking order in the race for his signature. It is thought that both Eibar and Granada from Spain's are monitoring the attacker's situation, meaning Hull will still have strong competition for Mir's signing.
Having reportedly come to terms with the fact that he is not in Wolves' first team plans for next season, Mir thought to be keen to have his future for next season confirmed as soon as possible.
The Verdict
I think Hull should move quickly following this news.
With rumours around the future's of Jarrod Bowen and Kamil Grosicki refusing to go away, it is vital for Hull that they are able to strengthen in that attacking midfield area of the squad in the current transfer window.
Mir's top tier pedigree with both Valencia and Wolves, as well as his experience in the second tier of Spanish football, means that he could be a decent fit for The Tigers should he move to the KCOM Stadium.
Given Mir is apparently keen to know his future as soon as possible, it may be a good idea for Hull to offer him the opportunity to do that with them sooner rather later, in order to avoid missing out to one of the other sides said to be interested in the attacker.
