After the reporter Han Bing reported on Raiola's death, many players paid tribute to him on social networks, most of them members of Laiola's "Star Empire", but also included Juventus boss Agnelli, who was close to him. As one of the most powerful football agents today, Laiola's "Star Empire" legacy is large and rich enough.
These include Haaland, who are currently second only to Mbappe, Dutch rising stars De Ligt, Grafenbech, Mazrawi, Kluivet Jr., Mullen, as well as Pogba, Donnaruma, Verratti, Defrey, Lozano, Moses Keane and the older Mkhitaryan, Ibrahim, Balotelli, Matuidi, and even Lukaku, who is no longer a client of Laiola.
This summer, Haaland, Pogba, Grafenbech, etc. in The legacy of Laiola's "Star Empire" will change doors, and the extent to which Laiola's death will affect the fate of these football superstars or rookies depends on how the heirs of Laiola's agency will reduce the pressure brought about by Laiola's death.
Haaland, whose value ranking is second only to Mbappe, is undoubtedly the biggest "jewel" in the legacy of Laiola's "Star Empire". In addition, Pogba, Donaluma, De Ligt, De Vree, Verratti, Ibrahimovic, Balotelli, Mkhitaryan are also first-line stars, and Laiola also has other promising rookies such as Grafenberg, Moses Keane, Mazrawi, Kluivert Jr. and so on.
Laiola's current players, who are worth more than 10 million euros, have a combined market value of 722 million euros. Although the total value is not as good as Barnett (963 million) and Mendes (962 million), Barnett's players are dominated by "Premier League premium" English, Scottish and Welsh players, and the actual value is seriously overvalued. Barnett's former top pick, Bale, has now been replaced by England players such as Greyish, Luke Shaw, Chilwell and Prose. In addition, Barnett also has a certain share in the French and Spanish player markets, with Camaranga, Aul, Conat, Bakambu, Sau, Pino, Unai Simon and De Thomas all under his wing.
Mendes also doesn't have a player worth hundreds of millions, with the highest rankings, Ruben Díaz and B. Silva, both at just 75 million euros. Represented by C. Ronaldo, Mendes' resources come almost entirely from Portugal, and a small number of stars from South America (led by Di Maria, J. Rowe, Falcao, Fabinho), whose peak period was in the previous 10 years, and his current players are mainly peddled to the richer Premier League. But in fact, Mendes' existing player sources are relatively single, and cannot be compared with Raiola's player resources across the five major leagues.
Against the backdrop of a large number of famous players choosing to use their immediate family members as agents, Rayola was able to persuade players to sign in their own company, relying on the principle of "players' interests first". As Balotelli puts it, Raiola is the "second father" of almost every player in his club. In the case of Haaland, for example, he could have sold the Norwegian superstar for a huge commission in the last two years, but Laiola's choice was to let Haaland stay in Dortmund. Even if it could only be sold this summer for half of the market value (75 million euros in liquidated damages), he would have to win the best personal contract for Haaland.
Among the many people in football who mourned Raiola were Haaland's father. Perhaps Haaland is more eager for La Liga, but Raiola has convinced the Haaland family that the Premier League is the best choice for a Norwegian centre-forward. Even if he may not be able to bring the success he wants to be in, pogba, Laiola can guarantee haaland the best personal contract from Manchester City, which neither Real Madrid nor Barca can offer.
This summer was originally seen by Laiola as a bull market for trading, the transfer of Haaland and Pogba is inevitable, and Ajax rookies Grafenberg and Mazlavi are also attracting the attention of major giants. Haaland alone, Laiola has made Real Madrid, Barca and Manchester City inseparable, Barca has raised the "price", but Laiola's target is originally Manchester City and Real Madrid. Real Madrid's long delay in the Kylian Mbappe trade has never relaxed, which has also allowed Raiola to release enough pressure to make Manchester City obey.
Shortly after Raiola's death, several transfer expert reporters exposed the news that Haaland signed Manchester City. The Norwegian centre-forward not only received the highest salary for Manchester City at £600,000, but also a lot of signing fees and portrait rights. Of course, Pimenta, who succeeded Rayola in running Haland's transfer, also earned the company tens of millions of pounds in huge commissions.
In addition, Pogba, who is about to leave as a free agent, is also a favorite object of Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and even Juventus. In order to keep Mbappe, Paris will not hesitate to pay a sky-high signing fee of 100 million euros and an annual salary of 50 million euros after tax, as well as a commitment to strengthen the strength of the team. Pogba is one of the central goals of this commitment, which will greatly enhance the midfield thickness of Paris Saint-Germain, especially in helping the attacking end. Of course, the price to pay for this is also very considerable, and Pogba's salary will be twice his salary at Manchester United! As for Real Madrid, President Perez also hopes to continue to sign top stars for free after Mbappe takes office, completing the formation of the third core of the Galaxy Fleet Phase III. After all, although Modric renewed his contract for 1 year, the aging of the Real Madrid midfield is unlikely to allow the team to have another successful season, and Pogba's addition will enrich the team's midfield, and Real Madrid can even give up Kroos for this.
As for Grafenbeh and Mazlawi, neither of them had a clear direction for their transfer before Laiola's death. Mazlawi has offers from Bayern, Barca and Real Madrid, and Barca's interest in Grafenbech is well known. But Raiola is not in a hurry to make a move, and the fate of the two rookies depends on the new progress after Raiola's death, the brokerage company completes the internal restructuring and re-evaluates the situation of the two. As for De Ligt, Donaluma and Verratti, it is not yet time to change the court. However, Laiola has set a transfer schedule for them, but unfortunately does not have time to complete it himself.
