Mino Raiola, a well-known Football Agent in Europe, passed away on the evening of April 30, and his family came forward to announce the news, 54-year-old Laiola has been in poor health for a while, and at the beginning of this year he also underwent surgery and was hospitalized for 10 days, before a reporter sent a message that he passed away, he was quite upset, because this is the second time in four months that a reporter has written him to death, and he taunted the reporter twice that he could not write about him because he had the ability to resurrect.
But I didn't expect that only a few days later, his brother really passed away, not long after this tweet was issued, it was reported that Raiola's important player Ibrahimovic had rushed to the hospital to visit him, and another of his players, Balotelli, also posted on Twitter to support, it is clear that Laiola's health deteriorated, he had lung disease before, had had resection treatment, and finally died on the evening of April 30.
Laiola is arguably the most well-known agent in football today, the reason for his fame is that he should make the players and himself the most, he has a lot of superstars, no matter how the performance and career development, Laiola can always help them talk about the most powerful contract, is enough to make the team hate him.
Laiola's earliest independent operation transfer in 1996, that is, Nedved, who was playing in Sparta Prague at the time, performed outstandingly in the European Championship that year to help the Czech Republic play the final, and then Laiola operation transferred him to Lazio in Serie A, and thus began Nedved's brilliant life as the world's top midfielder, knowing that at this time, Raiola himself was only 29 years old, although he had already worked in the agency for a period of time. But his first transfer was Nedved.
There were many good players in midfield during that period, and Raiola's vision was already on display at this time, because Nedved to Lazio's second year 97/98 season, he had already helped the team win the Coppa Italia, and then won the Europa League runner-up in the Europa League, and then won the European Cup Winners' Cup the next year, and it just so happened that Lazio's first time took this title was the last European Cup Winners' Cup, and then the 00/01 season won the Serie A title, after which Nedved became the world's top midfielder. Once considered to be the top three midfielders in the world rankings, and then he transferred to Juventus in the 01/02 season, the next thing many people know, he became the Jesus of Juve, still in juve management, it can be said that Rayola is really good at watching people, this first transfer is the most beautiful battle of his career.
The big deal that Laiola did after that was the Swedish striker Ibrahimovic, who was with Ibrahimovic in Ajax at the time, the Brazilian defender Maxwell (Maxwell), because Ibrahimovic wanted to change agents, so Maxwell strongly recommended Raiola's brother, and as a result, after the two met, Laiola trained Ibrahimovic, who was sick at the time (told him to sell the supercar and Rolex to play well), but these words were really valuable, Andra raiola often taught Ibrahimovic to learn more from Nedved. He said how diligent Nedved was in practice, he usually called him, this person was always at his home or on the treadmill of Juve's training center, Ibrahimovic thought he was farting, but then after Ibrahimovic transferred to Juve and Nedved, he found that Raiola's words were true and polite, after that Ibrahimovic became a self-disciplined practice maniac, although the speech is still like that, but the reason why Ibrahimovic can play at the age of 40 is because of his self-discipline and diligent practice, This fully benefited from Raiola's experience with Nedved.
Ibrahimovic traveled all over Europe under the operation of Laiola, from Ajax, Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona, AC Milan, Paris, Manchester United, etc., except for the Barca period, he was the starting main force in all teams regardless of age, and the two also maintained a good friendship, Ibrahimovic is very clear that without Laiola there would be no him today.
Since then, Laiola has also represented Balotelli, whose most important stars are Pogba/Manchester United and Haland(Haland/Dortmund), Matthijs de Ligt/Juve, and Donnarumma/Paris, the most famous of whom Lukaku/Chelsea have also been under him.
The most brutal transfer in Laiola's career is Pogba's transfer to Manchester United, he received a commission of $26.4 million in this transaction alone, before Mattes De Ligt moved to Juve, the contract that Laiola talked about for the young centre-back is also a high-salary high transfer fee that will make Juve "shake the country", and then he himself is also a high-cost super contract, and many teams dare not offend him, because he always has the players you want, and it is even possible to trade good players to the opponent. And if you want to buy a player he represents, he will continue to sell his players, and eventually Laiola and his players will make a lot of money.
But in fact, most of the players under Raiola do have that value, even if they can't play the expected performance, you can't say that they are parallel goods, Raiola Lion's style of opening up makes many teams quite disgusted but difficult to resist, because after turning his face with him, in case he has the player you want, it will be troublesome, not only do not sell you but also sell your opponent.
But from the player's point of view, he is a super agent who can talk about the best contract in his life for the player, and being able to be seen by him is actually equivalent to you either succeeding or getting rich next, you can notice that as long as it is the players and transfers handled by Laiola, the player side will often stand on the upper hand, rather than letting the team decide the value and contract, he may be a plague god for many big teams, but for the players he is the god of wealth, and for Ibu, Laiola is a noble person in life. He is actually a "vampire" who is always on the side of the players.
Before Raiola's death, Ibrahimoved to the hospital and accompanied him until the last moment, which showed the importance of love and the deep friendship between the two.
The impact of Laiola's death will be very large, and the big names who will definitely transfer this summer are Pogba and Haaland, at present Haaland is likely to go to Manchester City, and Pogba is not known where he is now, but with his attitude at Manchester United, if it is not the agent is Laiola, it is likely that he will have finished playing a long time ago, and now there is really no Laiola supporting him, and Pogba's future may be uncertain.
