When the news of Raiola's "death" came, it shocked the world football world. However, there was a quick reversal, and Laiola personally debunked the rumors on social platforms, which made people who cared about him breathe a sigh of relief.
A football agent receives as much attention as any star or a club, speaking volumes about Rayola's influence in today's football. Once he really dies or "retreats" from then on, what will happen to the future of European football?
01. What is a card face? The whole european football world is focusing on Raiola
a. Journalists who are in a hurry to break the news may be "social death"?
The first to break the news was the Italian football journalist Palmeri, and then Tg La7 and other media sources have sent messages that the ace agent Raiola died of illness.
This news shocked the football world, and even Real Madrid officials sent a message of mourning for Laiola at the first time. However, it did not take long for Real Madrid officials to delete the message, and things reversed.
A large number of reliable sources have come forward to say that Raiola is still alive, but it is indeed in a critical state. Journalists who are in a hurry to break the news have encountered massive condemnation or the risk of "social death".
b. Raiola "personally" rebunked the rumor: the assistant confirmed that he was in poor physical condition
In January of this year, Laiola had to be admitted to the intensive care unit of the San Rafael Hospital in Milan because of a lung disease.
After the news of my death spread, Raiola herself debunked the rumors on social platforms: to inform those who wanted to know about my health, this is the second time they want to kill me in 4 months, I am very angry about this, but I am still alive.
However, many people believe that Rayola, who has been sent to the intensive care unit, may not be able to send messages in person. His assistant Rodriguez revealed that Raiola himself is still alive, but his current physical condition is terrible.
Both Schilla and Romano, Italy's most prominent sources, subsequently confirmed that Raiola was not dead. Even The news from Romano came directly from the doctor at the San Rafael Hospital in Milan, where Raiola is located: "Raiola is still fighting for her life. ”
As an agent, the attention that caused such widespread attention and the earthquake in football also illustrates the deck of Raiola.
The most recent thing is that if he can stick to it for 2 months, Haaland's transfer commission is tens of millions of euros!
02. Great short-term impact: directly change the trend of the two trades this summer?
Laporta cried: The last hope of winning Haaland was dashed
Since running for the presidency of Barca, Laporta has had three plans: to renew Messi' contract, to sign Haaland, and to revive Barca.
Humiliating Real Madrid 4-0 at the Bernabeu, red and blue fans have high expectations for the "generation of heroes", and taking Haaland may be the best help for the team to return to the top.
Before Raiola was hospitalized, Laporta also dated him and Haaland directly, when countless media rumors went viral that Haaland would make Barca the next stop of his career, and play the second season of "Peerless Double Glory" with Mbappe, who is about to join Real Madrid.
But as Raiola entered the intensive care unit, news between Barca and Haaland quickly cooled down. More and more news shows that Haaland is already a Manchester City player, will this have something to do with the fact that his father is a Manchester City star?
If Raiola will still affect Haaland's transfer for many years to come, then the player's next stop may still be a "short timeout", but without Raiola, Haaland may seek the "long-term plan" of his giant career.
It should be noted that raiola and Guardiola are like water and fire, as early as 2015 interview, Raiola fired at Guardiola: "As a coach he (Guardiola) is great, but in terms of being a man I give him 0 points, he is a coward, he is a dog." 」 ”
Not to be outdone, Guardiola subsequently issued a statement that he would never deal with Raiola again: "He wants to sell me his players? Absolutely no way! ”
It can be seen that Haaland's ability to join Manchester City may be a signal that Rayola has unfortunately passed away, or has since retreated to the second line.
b. Pogba and Manchester United are no longer "acting"
Among the superstars under Raiola's command, one of the "big orders" that will surely happen this summer is Pogba.
Originally based on Raiola's influence, there may be more games between Pogba and Manchester United. But after he entered the ICU, Pogba's story became very simple: he would leave and then join Paris Saint-Germain.
Raiola is like the director of a big drama, as long as he is present, it is difficult to see the outcome of the story until the last moment. However, without him, the direction of the script may be seen through at a glance.
Whether or not Paris will eventually be able to retain Mbappe, adding an influential France international will be the result they want. After all, too many "Parisian celebrities" have been cheering for their own stars, and South Americans are not so popular there after all.
Another big star who could change owners this summer is Lukaku, who has parted ways with Raiola, but is said to have broken up on the grounds that Laiola "failed to get him back to Chelsea".
It is not known whether Lukaku has "forgiven" his former agent in the past 1 year.
03. Long-term implications: De Ligt missed Barcelona? Donaluma wants to go back to Milan?
a. Romagnoli and Gravenberg: Transfers have become easier
Judging from Raiola's ace lineup, there are two other players destined to find new owners this summer, that is, center-back Romagnoli, and Ajax midfielder Gravenberg.
Among them, the AC Milan captain will most likely accept Lazio's offer, although there are also rumors that he will join Barca, but there is some overlap with Christensen, and Laporta should not need to shoot.
Not long ago in the Dutch Cup final, the young midfielder Gravenberg, who scored a very good goal, has a good talent.
If he can finally make a smooth transfer to Bayern Munich, it may also be because of the weakening of Laiola's influence. Otherwise, with the broker's means, the risk of a secondary job hopping of the commission may not be what the German overlord is willing to bear.
b. Can De Ligt still go to Barcelona? Donaluma wants to go back to Milan?
Laiola's operating habit is to let a player change owners every few years, and he can get more commissions.
The initial introduction of De Ligt to Juventus, as did Haaland to Borussia Dortmund, was due to the club's acceptance of liquidated damages clauses that would benefit his next operation.
So after De Ligt came to Juve, the news of his move to Barcelona only increased. Even after Haaland's move to Manchester City, there was a lot of speculation that Laporta, who had a sum of money in his hand, might still "buy" from Laiola.
It should be said that Raiola's entry into the ICU will be a big blow to the Barcelona president's reinforcement plan this summer. Recently, Laporta has been in frequent contact with mendes and Deco's team of agents, which should also be aimed at finding Plan B as soon as possible.
Donarumma, who moved freely to Paris Saint-Germain under the operation of Raiola last summer, has made consecutive mistakes this year. When Paris Saint-Germain folds the Champions League round of 16 and Italy misses the World Cup, will Donarumma regret his decision last summer?
There are rumors that Donnarumma wants to return to AC Milan, which was acquired by the new boss, but even without Raiola's profit, Donnarumma may be difficult to "go home".
Some things, once they take the first step, really can't go back.
Conclusion:
We wish Laiola a victory over the disease and her exit from the ICU. However, from the current situation, even if he passes the risk, he may not be able to exert influence on football in the short term.
The ace agent who can "tour the world" one by one for Haaland's transfer and take the initiative to hype, without him, football is really missing too much to watch.
