TEMPO.CO , Jakarta - Rafa Mir's stunning performance at the Tokyo Olympics with the Spanish national team attracted Sevilla and Atletico Madrid to him. Both La Liga clubs are said to be interested in signing him, according to Marca .
Mir has impressed in every appearance of the tournament, culminating when he scored a hat-trick as a substitute in Spain's 5-2 win over Ivory Coast in the quarter-finals.
Then, the 24-year-old scored the equalizer in injury time to force extra time, before scoring two more goals in 30 added minutes to help Spain qualify for the semi-finals.
Spain coach De La Fuente praised Mir's performance after the dramatic victory over Ivory Coast. He called the player the Protagonist in that match.

"The real protagonist is here, by my side, and he gave his life to participate in this team," said De La Fuente, as quoted by Football Espana .
Every time Mir is deployed at the Tokyo Olympics, the striker can always cause problems in the opponent's defense. This Wolves player became one of the key players in La Roja's journey in this tournament.
Spain will face host Japan in the semifinals at the Saitama Stadium, Tuesday, August 3, 2021, at 18.00 WIB.
Now, with the transfer window open, Mir could attract the attention of many La Liga clubs by continuing his fine form with the Spanish side.
After spending last season at Huesca on loan, he returned to Wolves to complete the remaining year of his contract but has no plans to remain at the Premier League club.
This summer's Tokyo Olympics could set the stage for Rafa Mir to entice big clubs to sign him so he can leave Wolves ahead of the new season.
