Mino Raiola, a top agent, turned to social media few days ago to refute rumours of his death.
The elite agent, however, has died at the age of 54, according to his family.
Many of Europe’s top players, including Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Paul Pogba, and Chelsea target Erling Haaland, were represented by Mino Raiola.
Raiola’s family said in a statement posted to his Twitter account: “In unfathomable grief, we share the passing of the most loving and great football agent there ever was.”
“Mino battled till the end with the same zeal he used to defend our players at the negotiating tables.” Mino, as always, made us proud without even realizing it.
“Mino’s work had such an impact on so many people, and he established a new chapter in the history of modern football.” His presence will be missed for the rest of time. Mino’s desire to improve football as a sport for players will continue with the same zeal.
“We appreciate everyone’s outpouring of support during these trying times, and we respectfully request that family and friends’ privacy be respected during this time of loss.”
