Wolves striker Rafa Mir says his former club Valencia refused to sell him to Real Madrid.
The European champions were in pursuit of the forward before Wolves surprisingly secured his signature earlier this month.
Mir, who signed a four-and-a-half year deal at Molineux, told Radio Valencia Cadena SER: “They (Valencia) rejected three or four offers from Real Madrid for me. However, they agreed to Wolverhampton’s first [offer] in December. Valencia didn’t want me to go to Real Madrid and they succeeded.”
