On the evening of April 30, Beijing time, the Laiola family issued a statement confirming that the well-known football agent Laiola had passed away at the age of 54.
In the statement, the Raiola family wrote: "With infinite sadness, we sadly inform everyone of the death of the most loving and amazing football agent ever. Like he paid for the players at the negotiating table, Mino fought to the end. He is as proud of us as ever. ”
"Raiola has touched so many people through his work and has written a new chapter in the history of modern football. We will always miss him. His mission is to make football a better place for the players, and that mission will continue with the same passion! We thank all of us for their tremendous support during this difficult time, and we also ask you to respect the privacy of his family and friends during this time of grief. ”
Born in 1967, Rayola is one of the best super agents in football today, representing a number of A-list stars, including today's hot rising star Haaland, as well as Donnarumma, Pogba, Villatty, Dumfries, De Ligt and so on.
Laiola underwent surgery at the San Rafael Hospital in Milan last January and, according to medical sources, now suffers from severe lung problems. Two days ago, Italian journalist Palmeri was the first to reveal Raiola's death. However, the matter was then debunked, and Raiola was only in critical condition at the time.
Laiola's official Twitter account reads: "For those who want to know, the current state of health is: I am angry because in 4 months they killed me twice. It looks like I can be resurrected. ”
However, after 2 days, the miracle still did not happen. With the lawyer issuing an official statement, Raiola was also confirmed to say goodbye to the world. With the death of Laiola, it has had an important impact on international football. After all, his stars such as Haaland and Pogba are the focus of this summer's European transfer market. The departure of Rayola will also have a great impact on the future direction of these players.
