Raiola: ‘I’m not Insigne’s agent… yet’

Mino Raiola says he’s not Lorenzo Insigne’s agent “for now” and denies offering the Napoli man to Barcelona "openly".

It was reported earlier today that the super agent had taken over management of the Italian international’s affairs, and told Barça to sign his new client.

Tonight he has spoken to Rai Sport to clarify the situation, and while it appears there is some truth in the story, Insigne isn’t currently a Raiola client.

“Barça? I can’t recall having advised them so openly…” Raiola said in an interview with Rai Sport.

“I think Insigne is a great player though, so I wouldn’t be wrong to do so. Then whatever I say to the Barcelona President or other Presidents I’ll keep to myself.

“Do I represent Insigne? Lorenzo has an agent, and for now he remains. We’re working actively with Roberto [Insigne, Lorenzo’s brother].

“I hope to work with Lorenzo in the future, at the moment he has an agent but we’ll see how the situation develops in the future…”
