Forbes estimated that Raiola’s worth stood at £62million last year, with claims that he banked £20m from Pogba’s return to Manchester United in 2016. The agent’s career in football began in the early 1990s while working for Dutch company Sports Promotions.
Who else has Raiola worked with?
Raiola oversaw the 1993 sale of future Arsenal great Dennis Bergkamp from Ajax to Inter Milan while working for Sports Promotions.
In 1996, he negotiated the transfer of Czech Republic player Pavel Nedved from Sparta Prague to Lazio on his own.
Raiola also worked with Chelsea’s Romelu Lukaku and Man United’s Jesse Lingard, although both eventually parted ways with him.
