After months of illness and in critical condition in recent weeks, soccer player ‘super agent’ Mino Raiola passed away this Saturday, April 30. A couple of days after his “fake” death was announced, this time the family made what was inevitable official. One of the most powerful men in football today was leaving us, an executive far removed from suits and ties and who had built his empire practically from scratch.
Those who knew him say that he defended his clients as if they were his own children. Ironic, a lover of jokes, but implacable when he entered an office and began to negotiate. This summer he had a series of macro-operations ahead of him that had put world football on edge. Especially that of Erling Haaland, his most valuable client, by far, today. The Norwegian, who is about to unravel the daisy about where he will play next year, left a message full of emotion on his networks: “The best”. Along with a heart and a loving photo of both.
In addition, Paul Pogba is pending to sign his new contract. Everything indicates that for PSG. Here we must add Matthijs De Ligt, who has numbers to leave Juve, or Marco Verrati. In addition, he represented Donnarumma, de Vrij or the young Gravenberch. The question everyone is asking is: Who inherits all that empire?
PIMENTA ALREADY NEGOTIATED FOR HIM IN MONACO
Well, in the case of Haaland, some time ago, in view of Mino’s state of health, the Brazilian lawyer Rafaela Pimenta had emerged as the important figure. Raiola’s lawyer, Pimenta had become the main interlocutor of Haaland and the rest of those represented by the Italian. In fact, at the Haaland-Real Madrid meeting in Monaco last February it was she, along with Haaland’s father (Alf) who took the lead.
We will see if there are other figures within the staff who step forward.
