Mino Raiola says it is ‘his fault’ if Federico Bernardeschi left him to join Federico Pastorello.
The Italy winger quit Raiola, becoming a new client of Pastorello. It was the Italian agent to announce Bernardeschi’s decision on Wednesday.
Pastorello’s most famous client is arguably former Inter star Romelu Lukaku who joined Chelsea over the summer.
“It should have happened earlier, but sometimes good things take a long time to happen!! I am proud to announce Federico Bernardeschi signed with SportManagement. Welcome to the family,” Pastorello wrote.
Bernardeschi sees his Juventus contract expire at the end of the season and Pastorello will now negotiate a new deal with the Old Lady.
“When I lose a player, it’s always my fault,” Raiola said after a meeting with Milan at the Rossoneri’s headquarters on Thursday.
“I wish Bernardeschi all the best. They are always free to leave. They aren’t prisoners.”
The former Fiorentina winger joined Juventus in a €40m deal in 2017.
The 27-year-old has scored ten goals in 159 appearances with the Old Lady. He was part of the Italy team that won the Euros over the summer.
Bernardeschi is not the first Juventus player to join Pastorello’s client list.
Lukaku’s representative was recently picked by another Bianconeri player, Arthur, who decided to sign with the Italian agent.
“Nobody who will be missed” is what I’m reading.
The player needs a good agent Raiola doesn’t need anybody (anymore)
I just have a feeling a bad scandal will come out about Raiola in the next while. Look at his gut….he’s a man of many appetites!
Not even mighty Raiola can find a club for overrated and overpayed Bernardeschi
Raiola is a selfish agent, what he did to lukaku then when he was to join united was terrible and lulaku later revealed everything
I pity haaland sticking to him
Raiola most likely looking outside of Juventus, player wants to stay, even at reduced wages, is what i’m thinking
Raiola will be happy that he left. Otherwise he would be having a tough time finding him a new club.
Why the hate for raiola? Zlatan describes his value in his book.
I would love a guy who went to my boss and demanded better terms and has an alternative employer available just in case.
…I can see everyone losing their s**t when de ligt will demand 20m a year
I think this shows Short Comings on Raiola’s part. Bernadeschi us also reaching if he thinks Pastorello can do any better. He is already overpayed and has shown no signs of developing or growing since arriving at Juve. If we took him at Milan it would be on a substantial pay cut.
Just sell him it does not matter about an agent change but hopefully this is what he is thinking.
