Mino Raiola dies aged 54 as agent to Erling Haaland and Paul Pogba passes away

World renowned football agent Mino Raiola has tragically died aged 54.

The Italian was best known for representing a host of football superstars such as Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland, Manchester United's Paul Pogba and Swedish legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

He forged a reputation as a "super agent" and was involved in a raft of huge deals over the past several years.

Several prominent media outlets in Italy report Raiola has sadly passed away following an illness.

In January this year, it was reported that he had been rushed to hospital in Italy and later underwent surgery.

Family members later denied rumours about Raiola's health after German newspaper Bild had claimed he was in intensive care.

Raiola had worked his way up to become one of the most influential figures in the football transfer world.

As well as Haaland, Pogba and Zlatan, he also represented the likes of Romelu Lukaku, Marco Verratti, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Mario Balotelli and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
