Wolves have beaten Real Madrid to the signing of Rafa Mir from Valencia, according to reports in Spain.

The 20-year-old forward has made only two senior appearances for Valencia but has been prolific for the club’s reserve team.

So far this season, Mir has scored 15 goals in 19 matches for Valencia Mestalla in the Spanish third tier.

Real Madrid were expected to complete a deal for Mir but Superdeporte report that Valencia and Wolves have agreed a €2 million (£1.7m) deal.

The report also claims that Mir has agreed a four-year contract with the Championship leaders and has already said goodbye to his teammates at Valencia.



Last week, reports claimed that Real Madrid were poised to sign Mir for €500,000 and the forward was going to be placed in the club’s youth team.

But it now appears that Wolves, who are nine points clear at the top of the Championship, have managed to beat Madrid to Mir’s signature.
