Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Rafa Mir’s future could be in doubt, with the club reportedly scouting Inter Milan prospect Andrea Pinamonti.

According to FCInterNews.it, the Black Country club are said to be following him closely at the ongoing U20 World Cup in Poland.

It is suggested that Wolves representatives were present to watch him in action against Mexico.

Gazzetta dello Sport reported on Wolves’ interest in Pinamonti in January, but the club face potential competition from the likes of Ajax, Real Valladolid, Brescia and Parma.

Pinamonti is viewed as one of the brightest talents to emerge from Inter’s academy in years, and his stock has risen higher after a decent loan spell at Frosinone.

If Wolves land the exciting Italian, it could well be the end of the line for Spanish striker Mir.

TBR’s view

Mir was loaned out to UD Las Palmas in 2018/19 where he got regular game time.

He scored seven times in 30 appearances for the Spanish outfit, but it looks like his first-team prospects at Molineux could be dashed.

Wolves seem very keen on Pinamonti, who is a year younger than Mir but arguably already showing better potential.

It would seem strange for Espirito Santo to want both in his first-team squad since they are very similar players in terms of position and physical build.

That is why Mir’s future could now well be hanging in the balance, having made just four first-team appearances at Molineux.
