By Simon Jones Super agent Raiola dies

-

MINO RAIOLA, the football super agent who died yesterday aged 54, left plans in place for the future of his clients.

Raiola represente­d some of the game’s most high-profile players and brokered some of the biggest transfers, but had been battling illness since January.

His client list included Paul Pogba, a free agent this summer, and Borussia Dortmund’s coveted striker Erling Haaland.

Sportsmail understand­s Paris Saint-Germain are favourites to sign Pogba, while Manchester City remain hopeful of a deal for Haaland.

‘Mino’s mission of making football a better place for players will continue,’ the agent’s family said yesterday.
