From Haaland to Pogba: Future of Raiola’s clients unclear

Mino Raiola’s passing risks throwing the football transfer market into chaos as the future of many of his clients are now unclear.

The Italian super agent’s empire has been passed over to his cousin Vincenzo, who will now have the difficult task of giving business consistent, keeping the clients happy and clashing with the clubs to iron out the best deals. Enzo has worked alongside his cousin for years and will now have to prove himself capable of taking over the reins.

Other super agents are preparing to possibly snap up some new clients, with figures like ICM Stellar Sports president Jonathan Barnett and Gestifute’s Jorge Mendes both ready to take on some of football’s biggest stars. A number of other agents, like Volker Struth, Pini Zahavi and Alessandro Lucci are also hovering close by.

Enzo Raiola will now have to work hard on many fronts, defending his clients and proving his quality in the market.

Below are some of Raiola’s biggest clients, their market value and their contract expiry date.

• Matthijs De Ligt – Juventus – 2024 – €90m
• Erling Haaland – Borussia Dortmund – 2024 – €75m
• Gianluigi Donnarumma – PSG – 2026 – €65m
• Marco Verratti – PSG – 2024 – €60m
• Ryan Gravenberch – Ajax – 2023 – €40m
• Paul Pogba – Manchester United – 2022 – €40m
• Hirving Lozano – Napoli – 2024 – €30m
• Moise Kean – Juventus – 2023 – €30m
• Donyell Malen – Borussia Dortmund – 2026 – €30m
