Mino Raiola: Why Players Love Him & Clubs Can’t Stand Football’s Controversial Super Agent
Football agent Mino Raiola famously clashed with Sir Alex Ferguson back in 2012, leading to Paul Pogba leaving Manchester United for Juventus, only to return in 2016. The transfer is considered controversial due to the massive fee that Mino Raiola collected - as discussed by Football Leaks - with these large fees being a trademark of Raiola’s. After representing players like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Mario Balotelli, Gigi Donnarumma, Paul Pogba, and more, this Mino Raiola Bio will look at his early life in Haarlem, all the way to becoming the biggest super agent in football.

As a football fan, I hate "super agents" like him. Inflating player transfers.
As a business man, I respect the hustle.
True he is a killer. If you hire him as a agent you get a guarantee that the clubs wont lowball you. Dont forget that the devil is in the details and a contract isnt just a salary but it will have loads of clauses, things that Raiola works with every day. I cant imagine some players comming in with their father as a agent, thats a guarantee for being lowballed by a club. You should get Raiola as a agent when you want to get to the best CLUBS , you shouldnt hire him if you want to a SPECIFIC club.
Same here
His job is to make sure the players don't get paid less than their market value. He does his job well
Yeh good job copy pasting this comment from tifo football
Ey congrats on stealing someone else's comment
He’s a businessman - his aim is to make money for his business and himself. He only cares about his players because his income depends on it. That should’ve been the focus of your video - his love for his players is secondary
completely agree, I was surprised by how much praise he got here, his so called "care' is just extreme greed
Arianna respect the hustle
The same way your local ma and pa coffee shop provided extra care and attention to that of a Tim Hortons. To keep the client happy. You can't say that the love I'd secondary it's interwoven into his business model
Praise for his come up and how he treats his clients - which all of them have attested to, and why he has some of the biggest names under his belt (must be a pretty big belt at that). They all see him as family. If he didn't care for them, his business would suffer. Now, do I respect how he tiptoes around regulations and has made dodgy deals? Nope! But how he got into this position in the first place is impressive.
Rabona TV I agree that his journey is impressive and his aptitude has to be praised.
I just feel that Raiola’s clients love him so much because he makes them feel like they are his priority, which they are because his business depends on it. In essence, I don’t think his ‘care’ for players is unique or special I.e. all agents do this to varying degrees. But Raiola ONLY treats his clients so well because he wants to maximise his profit. That’s clearly shown by his strategy with top players I.e. maximising the clubs they play for to maximise his earning potential. For example, he had the opportunity to move Pogba to Madrid from Juve - but he took the longer route through Man Utd because he would receive two large payouts (from his transfer to United and his inevitable transfer to Real Madrid). He is doing the same now with De Ligt. To do this, he destroys the players relationship with clubs and potentially ruins dressing rooms. He does this all to maximise his profit, NOT to protect the interest of his players - he simply makes them feel like it’s protecting their interests.
It’s a business so I praise his acumen BUT I don’t think your video captured his selfish side
Jesus. He brought a McDonalds at 19? incredible. 😱
That explains how he let himself go. 😅
In haarlem. Lucky rich italian kid in a big town that has no McDonalds. Gotta get lucky
His family made the fortune he just made it bigger it’s good but you have 60 steps ahead of you already have the money
bitchimsexyy 666🤣😂
bitchimsexyy 666 as the son of a successful business owner, yes it of course it is easier IF you’re helped by your family’s success, but I’m sure his father made him work his ass off brick by brick until he felt his son was ready to branch out on his own and be successful without him as it should be
@@averageconsumer3571 what business did your father succeed in? And what have you created?
He struck again ..took xavi Simmons away from Barcelona to p$g
I'm fucking pissed off about that
@array s nor are psg

Rushil Dalal cmon guys he’s only 16 let the boy live a bit, travel and have fun
@@averageconsumer3571 let him do whatever he wants lmao idc that much, just saying that it's not gonna be that easy breaking into the first team at psg either
He looks like Peter Griffin xD
With the ball's chin to boot.
Shut up, Meg.
What a bad time to have the top comment... oof lol
@@superfantastical1 R.I.P 🙏
Gareth Bale should hire this guy!
Bale was stealing a living at Madrid for how many years he is perfectly fine with the agent he has
if he wanted his players to succeed so much then they wouldnt constantly transfer. He only wants his clients to transfer so that he can earn his millions.
Which is a very clever way to make money, show some respect
@@jujushay4872 well then he's not a very good agent if his players are constantly transferring clubs, it's all about him and how much meat he can fit into that giant belly.
@@jujushay4872 show some respect haha you fool.
@@jujushay4872 Sorry for not respecting an individual who's only interest seems to be money
cmox what’s wrong with that? Money makes the world go round
Adrian should start podcast on football with tifo football. Not sure what he would do write ideas in the replys. Like so Adrian sees
What about the Portuguese Super Agent, Jorge?
Orange Mendes? I could do a video on him eventually. I'll space out my agent videos a bit.
hes nothing special tbh...he the agent of a lot of overrated portuguese players...and i know all about it because im portuguese
@@RabonaTV used to be a DJ before he found Cristiano.
@@alexandrenabais6053 hes making the 70% of all transfers from Benfica, Sporting and Porto. Names he got: CR7, Aguero, Nani, Di Maria, Pepe, Quaresma, Falcao, James, Bernando Silva, Joao Moutinho, Deco, Felix etc. hes surely the best agent ahaid of Mino. If you know any better start talking xD.
He's a better agent than Mino Raiola 💯 but I respect Raiola hustle
Damn things are so bad for Mateo Darmian his now making TH-cam videos 🤣
I have worked with agents for a while. Smart agents don't burn bridges with clubs, because other clubs find out and that then affects your players options. If an agent pushes a player too hard over the club, while also just straight trying to get loads of money for himself, he forces ruining the balance of wages and relationships between all players at the club thus risking the harmony and performance at the club itself. This goes against all the managers/DOF/staff plans and work to develop the club just to service one player in the team, this is totally against the concept of a team, which most agents understand and try to operate within that system. He has no players at Barca/City/Real Madrid (apart from the 3rd gk) and any other team in the premier league, which I think is more telling than the odd italian or ajax player who has joined him over the years. Fergie offered him a record contract for a teenager at united (maybe the world) and he turned it down. All this was still while Giggs, Scholes, Carrick, Rooney, De Gea, Rio, Vidic, Evra and Berba were all at the club, so how do you think they would have reacted to a kid getting paid so much after a handful of pretty woeful performances, ALL OF WHICH I WATCHED, while really wanting Pogba to succeed and be our new Ronaldo. To trash a club because they won't give you a huge signing on fee, when all you really want is to get another chunk of a transfer fee somewhere else, is pathetic and transparent af.
I really have to tell that I enjoyed your text mate, could we maybe get in contact in some how? Would really appreciate to get some kind of contact with you. You seem like a wise man!
Kind regards 😄✌️
A lot of his player has big ego, As he himself also has big ego and encourage all his player to be like him. Hope he stay away from the club i support
FIFA should put a cap on agent fees. These guys are destroying football. Just look at the crazy commission amounts they ask from clubs. Cap agent fees at 1% of the total transfer fees.
That is beyond stupid
If an Agent gets 1% of the total fee then the Agent will demand more for the player holding clubs to ransom worse than they do already. Football is a shady business and corrupt to its core. But i agree something needs to be done.
Nitish It should be an absolute cap, like a million dollars or such.
Mino plays chess not checkers. You never hear no bad things from players, it's always delusional Pundits & greedy club owners & ego maniacal managers that don't like him.. Best agent by far
Gotta love Mino. He gets his players what they want. All these people criticizing Mino just gets their opinions from media, which they swallow. I understand you don't like him because your club's player transfers to another team.
Half of the people who don't like Mino are Barcelona fans because de Light didn't join them and Simmons left them.
Understandable. :D
By player's interest you mean financial interest or sporting interest? He works hard to get his players big contracts, but can't deny that his players moving from club to club is his main interest. No surprise Zlatan, his most famous client is among the record braking players in terms of different clubs he played for. You could argue that he and many more of those clients have still had amazing careers, but can you say that every move they made was good and they would not benefit more by staying at one place longer. I want to point out one specific move as the biggest example of money move. Pogba left Juventus for Manchester United. He had huge role in Juventus and the team was great, made UCL final. United was struggling, but they'd pay 100 millions and Railoa would get tasty chunk of it. Who am I to judge people for wanting to make more money(I mean both Raiola and player), but "the best of player's interest" can definitely be understood in different ways.
The release clause of de ligt being negotiated to low. Hugely signifies it.
De ligt will never be a Juventus legend. He will soon start to move around the time a large club offered more money to riaola.
Pogba was happy at Juventus. But riaola convinced him that his boyhood club will do him greater good. And see what happened. Pogba had a chance to be great but riaola for his own profit thrown him side by side.
The Pogba move is only bad in hindsight. Same with Mkhitaryan to United. Zlatan would be Zlatan wherever he went. Balotelli would probably be in Turkey if he had another agent. All of the moves he's engineered (off the top of my head) made sense, both financially and football wise
In short
He is best for making $$$ for his players but not so much for there career in general.
He can get u good salary
But he isn't the favourable option for your career in general.
Super Agents have ruined the game...
There needs to be a movie about him. how does he makes the best deals for his client? Man I have huge respect for that guy,no matter how bad that guy is, He always gets the best for his clients
Keep up the good work. Respect from Jamaica.
Impressive Adrien. You're THE ONLY youtuber that i know that actually takes his comment section and suggestions seriously
Barca have seen the last of him no more players who's agent is Riola are in the club. Xavi Simions is the last one.
It's fair enough that the loss of Xavi Simmons be the last straw as that was a diabolical move that justifies him being blacklisted at Barca.
Good
That kid is just 2 years older than me and he's not interested in 220 grand a year. I'm sure when he's 25 he's gonna demand at least a 600-700K a week.
I actually respect raiola, self made against everything, loyal to his players, he does his job which is making them money and securing them transfers. His come up is aamazing. People hate him. If you're.not.good enough in your job no one will hate him.
1.Money
69 .Loyal
Dude is a god. Love people who hustle and show loyalty to their clients like this dude.
ApparentlyEric Dude's loyalty is money, not his players.
LOL he's just a pimp..😂
Of course a pimp needs to be loyal to his bitches, they're his main source of incomes..
You left out how he moved into sports. He started at a Dutch field hockey club Pinoke, arranging sponsor contracts. That's how he started with sportd
Hate him or love him, he is intelligent and loyal to his job and his players. He doesn't care about what the fans, clubs or managers think about his style of work, he just doesn't give a fuck does his work. Respect.
RIP Mino
RIP 2 The GOAT
I love him as an agent and businessman. He has a heart and cares for the players, he defends their honor and defends their dollar against these huge clubs that will chew them up and spit them out as if they are nothing.
th-cam.com/video/9DuLfUH_plU/w-d-xo.html
Mino is simple, a business man that wants to make the most money from players, if anyone is to blame is the players that hire him he doesn’t hire himself lol
this guy is amazing. such an amazing yet crazy story. work hard and make it happen
Eh, I think he cares to much about money and it shows in his players
He is ruining football
@@ryanchant6861 mate he’s changed the way agents work with clients now what do u mean 😂😂 he’s passed away so rip but he didn’t let his players get ripped off by these cash cow clubs that protect there pokey and want to take talent for a joke price
Ur channel is so sick keep it up dude👍
He doesn’t give a shit about the player lol he just wants to drive that price right up. Look at pogba he got the bag but he’s unhappy. I hope the same doesn’t happen to de ligt given how “money-hungry” his transfer seemed
You cant be more wrong
Of course he's motivated by money, but his players would tell you differently from what you wrote. If there's going to be money involved, they let him handle that, and he maximizes the profit like any businessman would while also protecting their interests. Zlatan attributes much his success to him thanks to the conversation that I spoke of in this video.
@@RabonaTV tru that but we've all seen the way he pisses teams off. dude's a true businessman
And Pogba wanted the move to United, that's why it happened. So to be fair, Pogba's now unhappy because of his relationship souring with Mourinho and after with some of the fans, not because of Raiola.
Почему думайте что его погба а не другой
He doesn't care about his players as you described, he's simply greedy. There's a massive difference
Brow they can talk all they want but i would want an agent who would work for my interest all the time regardless of clubs and managers the clubs will remain long before me as a player is likely broke or dead broke , as manager and club president i would hate him as player i would fucking love him if makes money of me dont care as long he is protecting and doing things right by me ... Football is a business love for the clubs are for the fans not players unless u were born in 60/70 or 80 , i ask u guys something do rather retire broke but with devotion of the fans or stinky rich and confortable with ur kids and family ??
Ehm how do you know? Do you know him personally? How can you claim to know what Mino Raiola feels, thinks or is motivated by? Are you some supernatural being or something?
@@topsander look at pogba
@@themanwithaplan5274 what about him?

1:06 - 1:07 “Foreign newspaper make hilarious Griezmann and Umtiti mistake” I’ve seen that news reported in another website and it’s insane. Some guy made a meme comparing the 2 with a couple of Stranger Things actors and that newspaper, blissfully unaware of those 2 child actors and their involvement in a massively popular TV show, reported that the 2 French players were childhood friends, using that meme as a proven fact 🤣
You mean the bengali newspaper! 😂

Nani?
Top quality subject and coverage as usual, very interesting. I cant help but not like this bloke, call me cynical but I think there might be one thing he puts ahead of players interests, his own profit. I know it's his job but it still leaves a bad taste in the mouth
I really didn't have any issues with this until yesterday. When I saw that xavi kid moving from barca to psg at 16. Shocking decision
I don't think it's that bad of a move for the kid since barca hasn't really been putting much trust in the youth for a while
And psg haven't been doing to bad with their youth
@@jesuscruz7033 he's only sixteen, barcelona was a stable club for him to develop with a good youth setup, no need for him to leave
@@unlockedaccount this aged badly
@@therealdakshina1051 😂😂😂
I think if I was a president of a club I will never deal with him period. Even if he had Messi and Ronaldo as his clients. The club always comes first.
So it's in the interest of the club to not deal with a certain agent and to thus not be able to sign certain players? And what do you do with players that are already at your club and that are represented by him? Well.... I just hope you'll never become the president of my favourite team....
50 Cent well good thing you’re not a club president (:
Rajat Kaushal yea because zlatan, nedved, Matuidi, Verratti, etc. never won trophies
Word
All clubs should ban him. Then he will lose his clients. All the money and no feelings for the club is why I like football less than I used to. Bosman ruined football together with all the shark agents. It's to much money around some sports and often you see less heart in those sports. Agents earn way to much. And the players are getting to much power. When it isn't the manager that is nr1 in the wardrobe it's gone to far.
agents fees should be payed by the player not the club
Hi, maybe you can make a video explaining why the French league considered has one of the 5 top leagues in Europe. They don't produce any team that really do well (except for mega rich PSG) in European competitions, teams in Portugal are more consistent than the french teams in European competitions but the Portuguese league is considered weaker. Makes no sense to me??????
I think overall the French league is a bit stronger. Or maybe the smaller teams produce better talent. The big Portuguese players always come from Sporting, Benfica and Porto. While a random French team like Rennes can produce a superstar
French league is better than the Portuguese league loool
the coefficient places france over portugal, its calculated by results in europe so french clubs do better in europe than portuguese clubs
@@unlockedaccount look back ten years and see if that is true. I disagree
Hi Adrian could you put your sources in the description if possible?
Rabona how can I get the soundtrack on the background of this particular video?
You're claiming raiola only cares for his players, but every time I hear about mino not agreeing to the terms is because he wants a bigger payday than lost agents, so why would clubs want to pay an agent more than the usual foh and not only that every time theres a "future soccer star" coming out the name raiola is magically involved makes me wonder how the hell is he involved so quick, I'm pretty sure hes doing some illegal shit to get to the young players
I don't have a problem lauding one's clients. Raiola, though? He lauds them as soon as they sign extensions and the like and powers transfers through even when the team isn't a fit for the player's talents.
He fights the clubs ( who he needs to build relationships with) for the sake of players,
Fights for every single player like his own dad,
Live him or hate him, but he's an excellent agent
Mino Raiola is trying to build his own version of super strong Juventus.
Love your channel bromigo...
People blaming agents , but if the money isn’t spent of agents and players. The Football owners are the one who will take the profit for their own benefits as well. Like Arsenal Stan Kroenke
I cant understand why so many football fans hate him. There is nothing wrong in demanding money for his players when their clubs make billions of euros every year. And he does care about his player like bringing Halland to Dortmund, a club that is known for developing talents, or like when Pogba demanded more first team football, Mino helped him to move to Juventus
Great vid
Cheers Juan!
Wow incredible absolute respect as a business man .. Just hope your club don't want his players because your gonna have to pay him a hell a millions !!!!
kindly do a video on Mino Rioala's transfer for Pogba to Man u that was controversial. Keep up with the great work fam.
9:20
love him or hate him
he's spitting straight faxx 👊😳🤚
YES TO 30 MINUTE SPECIALS!!!!
That was definitely the wrong 'a' sound in "twat" 😂
A Very Insightful video. I definately see Riola in a different way now :)
Another really good video. I certainly enjoy them. First came to your channel for one of your Champions League / Europa League prediction videos earlier this year, and haven't looked back
if i was a superstar, i would never have Mino as my agent.
Just a day after this video Mino was responsible for the transfer of Xavi Simons to psg
Zlatan’s best buddy, I’m not surprised
Wonderful video! Although Lukaku went to Roc Nation/CAA with JAY-Z which got him his boot deal with Puma.
Nobody knows him untill Sir Ferguson mentioned him
What's the name of the background music in the vid?
as a juventus fan, bloody love what mino does for us
Appreciate your work. Please make a video on Leroy Sane transfer saga if it goes through.
Mino doesn’t care about players as much as you portray, they’re his source of income, getting them high profile transfers is essentially his salary so that’s why he constantly leverages for them to move even if it’s not the right destination for him.
Raiolas greed filters through players demands costs them honest futures and upsets clubs and destroys the supporters love for player.
One day it will all end.
You are wrong. He doesn't care about his players. He makes money from they transfers so he transfers them. Period. I you see their evolution, none of them have actually become world class. No, not even Zlatan. The problem with the way he operates (not for him obviously) is career development. Sure they make a ton of money but that's not the point. He starts auctions with the interested clubs and the player goes to the highest bidder regardless of whether that club can actually win trophies. Pogba and Zlatan are the best examples. None had a serious chance of winning the Champions League. Then if they want to move to a club that can have for that title at that point they are overpriced. Too expensive for the clubs. So it's just not worth it. Going to a big club after an auction is not necessarily the best move for your career. If you are actually good you can have both money and trophies (CL specially).
You're saying Nedved wasn't world class?
Roots of the rivalry - Schalke 04 vs Dortmund (Ruhr Derby )
If he is doing things legally then I don’t see any reason to hate this guy. Unless he gets caught for something I have respect for him as a shrewd businessman
its a sorry state of affairs when any industry becomes so rich it attracts people like this, who contribute nothing, anyone who thinks they do are very dumb, any player who uses a crook like this is dumb. Pogba's actual cost would have been a much more reasonable 30 million without Raiola's involvement. Clubs must take a stand no agents fee, players must pay the agent. Also any person who negotiates on behalf of a club, should never sign a player without a relegation clause which states if we go down you the player gets a reduction of 66% in your wages, as you are partly responsible for our position ion the league. If the won't sign tell them to p*** off. Its common sense. As a manager surely you would want to look the player in the eye and get a feeling for who and what he is.
Agents "cut" should be regulated by UEFA/FIFA, and/or just super tax them in some way
Love him or hate him he's spitting facts
I didn't know mino was from Haarlem! Thats my city!!
Ayyyy I’m one of the first comments! Just wanted to say I love you videos and I don’t get why this high of quality doesn’t get more fans
Thanks for the support Andrew!
Rabona TV no problem
He shat himself when utd cut him off and wen for halland.. although the deal din happen, he definitely got the message, clubs are willing to cut him and talk to his players.. pissed him off, coz he knows today or tomorrow someone is gng to pull off one and his reputation will take such a knock,, all the agents will start blaming him for clubs doing business directly with players.. after that he shut his mouth and now wants to extend pogba's stay..
He’s a good business man who gets himself and the players a lot of money. everyone in the comments are just mad the better promising players went to play for other teams especially the youth players leaving recently lol ( Barca cry babies) if you really expected anyone to stay at a big club for less than half the salary another European team with the potential to win big trophies and playing time is offering your stupid
Mino Raiola isnt the biggest,is one of the biggest...because the real biggest agent is the portuguese Jorge Mendes,to confirm that see the last 25 years of the market transfer history in football,the first big deal he made was incredible at the time,when he move Luis Figo from barcelona to Real Madrid ,the start of the galactict team of Real
"dont hate the playa, hate the game"
Do you Damian brother?
Respect him??? For screwing up football...just look at Pogba situation only, he got him here, massive salary for Pogba huge commission and deal was on hold due to his commission....Now he wants to take him elsewhere. This is lack of respect towards the club, you cannot be arm twisting clubs for your own benefit!!!
Xavi simons just 16 years old moved from barcelona to psg just because of this riola
I hate this guy...this guy is bad for football.
But as a business man he is too good
The more his players earn, the more he does. Must be nice to be an agent lol
Well yea, he is basically a lawyer. The more money he earns his clients the more money he earns himself. They go hand and hand, there is a reason all of his clients make high wages, because he negotiated those contracts.
@@aaronlevi1516 hence why agents are usually hated amongst clubs as they always push playets for bigger contracts.
Cool! Now I wanna know about Jorge Mendes as well...
Well if Ferguson wasn't such a hot-headed guy, Man Utd would've saved 100 mil.
I do not have a problem with an agent ruffling feathers behind closed doors. But pumping up the media is a game that is not always in the player's interest. Fan support of players and clubs matter, and being too mercenary can be costly to a player who hits a rough patch. Pogba is not going to get support if his performance dips at ManU -- I do not blame Pogba for that but his agent is throwing gasoline on the fire, and Paul has to own that.
Love your videos! Keep up the good work!
Best for his client... financially not as a football player. I can't see even a single player who is a club legend or a great respected player. Even a player like Zlatan is more often not considered when talking about top 10 players or jst respected players
Can you talk about what happened to the rest of AFCON
Raiola is a real life Saul Goodman
Can you do a video or Jorge Mendes?
I don't think he really looks out for his players in a genuine way. I've noticed a lot of the players he represents move on from one club to another, never staying at a singular one for an extended time. As a result, I believe some of these players aren't or have not reached the heights of their quality that many believed they could (due to constantly being moved and having to adapt, etc.) I firmly believe it's because Raiola sours the relationship between club and player all so that he can get another move and earn more money. It's only about money for him, which sure, you can respect as a businessman. But to football, he's a true parasite
I don’t respect his constant need to push players out of clubs to make more money
I love Raiola gets the best deals for his clients and gets his own money aswell. Big respect to my guy
Nah we all know choupo motings agent is the best
This video is way too similar to the other one from 3 years ago. Did you plagiarize it or are these the only known facts out there...
Struggle story ....I respect him ....
But money has been ruining carriers of great talents across the globe!!
Neymar, Balletoli etc are some examples....
atul kulkarni yea but Neymar wanted the move and money. I think Raiola just carries out the wishes of the player
Might be...But it ruins their careers as well...
His job is to get the best deal for his client and I can respect that, even if it goes against my club.
That is his job, to give his players what they want not what the clubs want. Alternatively, the clubs' negotiators job is to do that for them too (and will stomp any players they do not want or like in deals).
I agree completely his job is to get the maximum for his clients and the clubs job is to get the best deal for the club. If you want to a specific club you cant hire him, but if you want to the biggest CLUBS he will get you the best deal. You cant fool Raiola, also dont forget that the devil is in the details. A contract isnt just a salary number but is has lots and lots of clauses that can screw you as a player or make you powerful as a player. Raiola is the kind of guy that you want to be on your side when its war time and not on the other side.
The way you pronounced “twat” 😂😂😂
