Aris FC signs Spanish forward Rafa Mir

Spanish striker Rafa Mir arrived in Thessaloniki on Monday, August 3, 2026, to finalize his transfer to Aris FC. The 29-year-old forward has reached a verbal agreement with the Greek club for a two-year contract, with an estimated annual salary of 700,000 euros. Upon completing his medical and physical examinations, he is expected to sign his contract and be officially announced as an Aris player.

Mir arrives as a free agent following his departure from Sevilla. His legal situation is a point of note, as he has received a first-instance prison sentence in Spain, which will require him to report regularly to the Spanish consulate after his move to Greece. The club views his addition as a significant reinforcement for the offensive line, providing experience alongside existing forwards such as Kadewere, Kouame, Alfarela, and Moron. Meanwhile, Aris continues to seek a transfer fee of approximately six million euros for Loren Moron, who remains on the market.

This signing marks the final stage of Aris's off-season preparations following their training camp in Italy. The club aims to integrate the experienced striker into the squad immediately to prepare for the upcoming official matches.
