Matthijs de Ligt

[SWP's back]

Mino Raiola has his track record speaking for himself.

He is hated. Everyone is saying he is a greedy bastard. But one thing is for sure, he is getting his players big deals and contracts. Look at Donnaruma at Milan AC. Paul Pogba at Man United.
He is so good that his clients have complete faith in him and clubs are forced to give him those fat checks if they want those players. He even manages to place some random guys in "ghost transfers" in big clubs so that they are able to get the lead for his star clients.

He is maybe despicable for everyone in the football, be it the clubs, the UEFA, the FIFA, but he is truly well loved by his players. And if de Ligt, specifically, went to him, it shows everything about what that player hopes to get.

Not seen a Raiola player that wasn’t a cockend. De Ligt seems a decent enough bloke time will tell.

This is the only deal that will soften the kompany blow. I really hope we are, like others have said.... balls deep on this


Whatever it takes

City certainly seemed to think so judging by the clips on the documentary. He was seriously pricey though he's obviously been worth it for Liverpool.

You must remember Dax is on a higher level that the board and Pep. He was able to remind everyone straight after the Spurs CL exit how he’d said “we can’t afford to lose the first game”, if only Pep and Txiki had access to such information prior to the game.

We need to be all out for this. He's a generational talent at a position we have a need for. If Maguire is worth 60m spend 100m on this guy.

Agreed. 6 years on maguire too and tbh I wasn’t impressed when we played them

I think he’s very ordinary for that fee

If he is with Raiola this could end up a none starter. I don't think Txiki, Feran or Pep have any time for Raiola at all; up to and including flat out not dealing with him no matter who the player is.

Has nothing to do with paying more, its all to do with how much he wants to join De Jong at barcelona. Sounds like that out weighs everything else.

How much are Barca going to spend in the summer, that’s the question isn’t it

86m for de jong
108m for griezmann

Are they gonna sell anyone ?

Matuidi is a Raiola client.
Areola is a Raiola client.
Maxwell was a Raiola client.
Verratti is a Raiola client.
Those players are pretty cool guys.

He has a shit ton of players and he usually delivers. Just the Donnarumma deal was a masterstoke, haha. He managed to get one of the best goalkeeper salaries AND get the other Donnarumma brother a contract worth million(s). It is pretty evident it is not only his payday Raiola is working for but his client interests (getting a job for your bro). Yet, the blame will often gets deflected to the agent.
