Sevilla has loaned convicted striker Rafa Mir to Greek club Aris Thessaloniki, according to a statement released on Tuesday. The Spanish forward, 29, is currently serving an eight and a half year prison sentence for sexual assault and bodily harm, a verdict handed down by a Valencia court in May following a trial in May. Mir has since appealed the sentence.
The transfer includes an option for Sevilla to purchase the player. The offenses allegedly occurred on September 1, 2024, at Mir's residence in Betera, Valencian town, after he and a friend met two women at a nightclub. Prior to his loan to Aris, Mir had progressed through Valencia's youth academy and joined Premier League side Wolves in 2018, before being acquired by Sevilla in 2021.
He was previously loaned back to Valencia in July 2024 and subsequently spent the 2025-26 season on loan at Elche. Mir has also represented Spain at youth level.
