The Birmingham Live has reported that Wolverhampton Wanderers star Rafa Mir isn’t sure about his future at the club with the 22-year-old on loan. While he is contracted to the Molineux, the Spaniard has spent a large portion of his time at the club on loan.

Wolves have since added the likes of Raul Jimenez, initially on loan, before making it permanent. They also went out and bought Adama Traore, Rui Patirico, Joao Moutinho, Benik Afobe and even Leo Bonatini among others.

However, amongst these players, both Afobe and Bonatini have left the club, leaving them with just Diogo Jota, Traore and Jimenez, as Nuno Espirito Santo’s main options up front.
