Sad news about his agent. But the transfer will be a lot less surely now not massive agent fee?

Mino will always have contingency situation, he will planned even with this kind of situation. His agency and team will take care of it.

Raiola is dead and people slagged him off for a long time they slag off agents all the time but at the end of the day they're just providing a service, it's a lot of money they take out yeah compared to our lives especially but in a sense over the years it generated massive interest and investment in football too, if agents hadn't come along footballers would still be earning pittance like the days of Tom Finney.

Agents do take lots of money out the game but for players to earn a percentage of a major clubs success when they're so intrumental in it is only fair, if these agents and now super agents never got involved maybe football wouldn't be the mega money industry it is today... I'll leave that up to others to decide whether that's a good or bad thing but football is a much better place for many players.

Personally I believe footballers should have their wits about them to manage their own affairs rather than hire an agent for it, not everyone is clued up though and plenty of people don't know their worth and would be taken for mugs so it's very understandable their existence.

He squeezed as much money as he could for his clients so did a good job and is always spoken highly of by the players under him, he may have been greedy but given half the chance to be in his shoes we'd be the same, he was a very driven person he clearly went the extra mile for his clients best interests, even if it lined his pockets to the point of bursting... The same people slagging him on here for years are no different to the people saying we're ruining football with oil money, which is why I've never really piped up and slated him or other agents despite at times thinking bloody hell that's a lot, my thoughts go out to his family as nobody should die before old age but at least he's lived a good life.

R.I.P.

I’ve been looking into the lady lawyer he worked closely with, and I think that doesn’t change
Maybe in future renewals…

RIP to the guy. A good portion of this thread was dedicated to him. For all his faults, I never joined the bashing

I'm not going to bash a guy for doing his job, maybe better than anyone else...he got the most for his guys and took a chunk for himself...its business and he was obviously very good at it...RIP Mino...

but he was in the hospital mate....in milano

And business is business, that's why haaland was in Monaco

but they were in Monaco and Mino was in Milano.

Correct which means they were in Monaco conducting business without Mino, but with his team. Which has probably been a regular occurrence as he’s been sick and in and out the hospital in Italy. I don’t we need to be concerned with the status of the transfer. Others have stepped up in Mino’s absence.

If Mino died earlier this morning, I wonder if Haaland was told then or is he just finding out now. Too bad Dortmund couldn’t get the win.

Surely the fee is with the agency

This is the problem with the mythology surrounding him. He was far from being the start and end of what people think of as the problems with the modern game.

This will change virtually nothing, especially given it's hardly come out of the blue.

right I was responding to someone who suggested they were in monaco to bid him farewell. he wasn't there.

IF they were in Monaco, they were probably seeing the people handling the negotiations anyway

City Xtra lads on YouTube confirmed it was Monaco using Google street map. They were like a 5 minute walk from Mino’s offices.

It was 100% the hairpin turn at Monaco, whether or not the dates are right is the only question

The question is when was that video taken
