Sports agent Mino Raiola defended the manner in which he conducts his business as one of the leading agents in world football, and he pointed out that he never sat with a gun on a table in negotiations.
What did Mino Raiola say?
The Italian, who has Haaland, Pogba and Ibrahimovic on his books, has faced criticism for forcing the hands of reluctant sellers and providing unwanted distractions for customers. Mino Raiola has no problem with his methods, however, and claims to have only ever acted in the best interests of those who trust him to manage their playing career.
Mino Raiola said that he is ready to go to war for his players. Raiola is ready to do whatever he wants for his sons. According to Mino Raiola do sports directors hate him? How did it come about? Mino never sat on a negotiating table with a gun. the Italian just knows very well what value his players have and what the clubs need.
The sports agent says that if they hate him, then this is the biggest compliment for him. Then Mino does something good. If they said well what Mino advises to the player, it will be easy for them, then he would have a problem.
Mino Raiola added that he loves arguments. he loves it when he comes up with a strategy and uses it to beat his colleague. According to Mino Raiola, no one will ever see him in a suit and tie. This is not Raiola. according to Mino, it is thick and short. People underestimated him for a long time and said what does he look like? it was said that Mino couldn’t even dress properly. This was his chance. Now everyone treats him with respect.
Raiola just does his job
There could be more arguments to come for Mino, with Dortmund striker Haaland one of the most valuable assets in world football. The prolific Norwegian has had strong ties to Man Utd and Real Madrid, with a representative already beginning the planning process for upcoming transfer windows. Mino Raiola said they have a clear idea of where Haaland should go and of course they are looking at what the market has to offer. Mino says that if he didn’t, he would be a bad advisor.
They can influence the market with a player like Erling. They are not influenced by the market. they know it. According to Mino Raiola, he changed the transfer market with his players. The consultants have created a second game alongside football: ‘Calciomercato’. Now they talk about playing two days a week and five days about transfers. Maybe sports directors hate him. Mino Raiola himself doesn’t hate anyone. Raiola is just doing his job.
