Rafa Mir returns to Seville under the direction of Quique Sánchez Flores. With two appearances recently, he seems to have regained the same importance in the team that he lost long ago. However, his future in this winter market remains questionable. Although he has started the last two games, the current context could affect his continuity.
Quique Sánchez Flores is looking to strengthen his attack with new options and as newspaper AS points out, Rafa Mir could be one of those sacrificed. His performances so far are not entirely convincing, which increases the chances of a transfer in January. Valencia showed interest in signing him last summer and several Serie A and LaLiga teams are paying attention to his situation.
At Sevilla there is uncertainty about the strikers. Youssef En-Nesyri has left for the Africa Cup of Nations and his return will change the picture even further. Coach Quique Sánchez Flores has indicated that there will be additions and departures to the team. The club is increasing its efforts to sign Fofana from Chelsea and Azmoun's name remains under consideration. Sevilla are looking for a revolution in their squad due to the team's current situation.
A striker without self-confidence
The situation is not easy for Rafa Mir. Despite his desire to convince Quique, his numbers and contribution to the game were inadequate. He has played just over 600 minutes this season, half of them in the Copa del Rey. The club expects more from him considering how much money he has invested in his signing. His possible departure is an option being considered to revitalize the team's attack.
