Mino Raiola: Why Players Love Him & Clubs Can’t Stand Football’s Controversial Super Agent 

As a football fan, I hate "super agents" like him. Inflating player transfers. As a business man, I respect the hustle.

Jesus. He brought a McDonalds at 19? incredible. 😱 That explains how he let himself go. 😅

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

He looks like Peter Griffin xD

He struck again ..took xavi Simmons away from Barcelona to p$g

Gareth Bale should hire this guy!

What about the Portuguese Super Agent, Jorge?

Adrian should start podcast on football with tifo football. Not sure what he would do write ideas in the replys. Like so Adrian sees

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.

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

Damn things are so bad for Mateo Darmian his now making RU-vid 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.

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.

Keep up the good work. Respect from Jamaica.

RIP Mino

RIP 2 The GOAT

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.

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.

Rabona how can I get the soundtrack on the background of this particular video?

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

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

this guy is amazing. such an amazing yet crazy story. work hard and make it happen

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

Ur channel is so sick keep it up dude👍

Appreciate your work. Please make a video on Leroy Sane transfer saga if it goes through.

Love your channel bromigo...

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

Impressive Adrien. You're THE ONLY youtuber that i know that actually takes his comment section and suggestions seriously

Hi Adrian could you put your sources in the description if possible?

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

A Very Insightful video. I definately see Riola in a different way now :)

What's the name of the background music in the vid?

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

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

Mino is already The agent of Xavi Simons who rejected 220,000$ a year Xavi simons is 16 16! He is making a 16 year old only care about the money already Xavi is surely supposed to care about playing time

kindly do a video on Mino Rioala's transfer for Pogba to Man u that was controversial. Keep up with the great work fam.

Super Agents have ruined the game...

Wonderful video! Although Lukaku went to Roc Nation/CAA with JAY-Z which got him his boot deal with Puma.

YES TO 30 MINUTE SPECIALS!!!!

Cool! Now I wanna know about Jorge Mendes as well...

Dude is a god. Love people who hustle and show loyalty to their clients like this dude.

man Rip Mino Raiola such a great agent

Can you talk about what happened to the rest of AFCON

Can you do a video or Jorge Mendes?

2 Biography vids in one week? Nani?

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

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 !!!!

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

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??????

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 🤣

9:20 love him or hate him he's spitting straight faxx 👊😳🤚

That was definitely the wrong 'a' sound in "twat" 😂

Great vid

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.

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

well, for me it's 50-50, but you know, you never know the detail of what he did, so yeah, i am gonna just sit and watch how the transfer windows magic give me surprise

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

Roots of the rivalry - Schalke 04 vs Dortmund (Ruhr Derby )

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.

I didn't know mino was from Haarlem! Thats my city!!

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.

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.

Do you Damian brother?

Brian Mujati. Oh what ever happened to him??

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 doesn't care about his players as you described, he's simply greedy. There's a massive difference

Zlatan’s best buddy, I’m not surprised

Great video dad always wanted to know this guys deal

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

Love your videos! Keep up the good work!

The main tag of the video says #RbonaTV and not #RabonaTV

Massive entity? I see what you did there XD

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...

Every one their own métier. But do it with an honoust heart.

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).

RIP

Rip

Just a day after this video Mino was responsible for the transfer of Xavi Simons to psg

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

The way you pronounced “twat” 😂😂😂

Not enough talk about the money. How much are Mino's machinations inflating transfer prices?

Who is Raila? It's Raiola! You forgot to pronounce the letter o

Al tipo le fascina el dinero y solo quiere estafar a los clubes.. debería ser un negociante más justo, prefiero Jorge Mendes

Mino Raiola is trying to build his own version of super strong Juventus.

as a juventus fan, bloody love what mino does for us

Agents "cut" should be regulated by UEFA/FIFA, and/or just super tax them in some way

Do one about bale

Nah we all know choupo motings agent is the best

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.

Awesome

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.

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.

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.

Delight damsels, aggregate currency

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

Jorge Mendez is the best among football players agents.

Fifa should introduce one player one agent system

Struggle story ....I respect him .... But money has been ruining carriers of great talents across the globe!! Neymar, Balletoli etc are some examples....

"dont hate the playa, hate the game"

Mendes is another level ahead of him!
