Later today, the world-famous football agent Raiola passed away due to illness.
Previously, Laiola was admitted to the ICU ward of a hospital in Milan because of a lung infection, but her condition still did not improve after surgery.
The 55-year-old Laiola is a world-famous agent.
Over the past 30 years, Laiola's clients have included numerous international superstars, including but not limited to Bergkamp, Nedved, Pogba, Lukaku, De Ligt, Ibrahimović, Balotelli and others.
Even while he was seriously ill and admitted to a hospital in Milan, the European giants secretly visited Rayola in the hospital, calling on his biggest trump card, Haaland, to show his influence.
The stocky, foul-mouthed Laiola comes from the bottom.
In 1967, Laiola was born in Nocella, Italy. At the age of 1, he moved to the Netherlands with his parents, where the family opened an Italian pizzeria.
As a child, Raiola helped out in her father's pizzeria and developed very good sociability.
It is reported that during the period of helping in the restaurant, Laiola came into contact with various people, etc., and was also harassed and insulted by guests. However, at a young age, he is very calm, and he says that he will calm himself down by brushing the dishes.
Hard-working and intelligent, Laiola helped her father file his taxes from the age of 12 and learned seven Chinese, including German, Italian, Dutch, French, Portuguese, Spanish and English.
It is said that while talking to restaurant patrons, he practiced his spoken language and improved his language skills by leaps and bounds.
At the same time, Laiola has excellent mental arithmetic skills and football youth training experience, which makes Laiola feel good after becoming a football agent.
At the age of 20, the fledgling Laiola was picked up by the Dutch football club Haarlem and hired him as an agent, while Laiola was in college, he interrupted his studies and went straight to business.
In 1993, at the age of 25, Raiola made a name for herself in European football, bringing Dutch superstar Bergkamp to Inter Milan.
Rayola is highly skilled and always helps European football clubs find the players they need, while also knowing the demands of players and negotiating to meet the interests of players.
Starting from Bergkamp, Raiola has made countless heavy transfers: Nedved to Juventus, Balotelli to Manchester City, Pogba to Manchester United, Haaland to Borussia Dortmund, Lukaku to Inter Milan, Ibrahimovic to AC Milan and many other clubs, Donnarumma to Paris Saint-Germain...
In negotiating with the club on behalf of the players, Rayola is capable of calculating, can take the initiative at the negotiating table, and can always help the players to win big contracts with the club as much as possible, which gives him extraordinary appeal among the players.
For this reason, many clubs call Raiola a "vampire".
His eventual illness is likely to shake the European football transfer market.
According to conservative estimates, Laiola currently has personal assets of more than 400 million euros, and even when he is seriously ill in bed, the European clubs are respectful to him.
Before his death, Rayola held the biggest trump card in the European transfer market: Haaland. In order to negotiate smoothly, Manchester City sent people to Milan to personally visit Raiola, and the news that Haaland was about to spend manchester City was also spread on the rivers and lakes.
