Who is Mino Raiola ?
Raiola was one of the most well-known agents in the world, with clients such as Erling Haaland of Borussia Dortmund, Paul Pogba of Manchester United, and Gianluigi Donnarumma of Paris Saint-Germain. Despite this, he had humble beginnings.
Although he rose to fame and money as a result of the beautiful game, he began his career working in his parents’ pizza shop in Haarlem before starting Intermezzo at the age of 17, which focused on identifying prospects for Dutch companies in Italy. Raiola stated that as a teenager, he was a self-made millionaire.
Raiola became well-known in the modern period for his work as a celebrity football agent. He began his career in football amid a period of great success for Dutch players in Serie A, the world’s most prestigious league at the time.
Raiola’s linguistic skills drew the notice of Rob Jansen, Holland’s most famous agent, who was looking for an interpreter for Dennis Bergkamp’s move to Inter Milan.
Raiola speaks up to eight languages including English, Spnish, German, Italian and Portuguese.
The Italian quickly found work with Jansen’s company Sport-Promotion, but he soon quit to strike out on his own.
His first huge transaction was the one that brought Pavel Nedved to Lazio after Euro 96, but it was meeting Zlatan Ibrahimovic that changed his life – and the lives of so many other footballers.
Ibrahimovic discovered a kindred soul in Raiola. Raiola helped the Swede join Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona, AC Milan, PSG, and Manchester United as a result of their friendship.
Raiola had a client list that would make any agent blush from there.
He was the agent for a number of players, including the aforementioned trio of Haaland, Pogba, and Donnarumma, as well as Romelu Lukaku, Marco Verrati, and Matthijs de Ligt, until his death.
Raiola earned an average of £796,345 each transfer deal he negotiated, according to an OLBG report based on Forbes data.
