Mino Raiola is right up there with the best agents in the world. His clients include wonderkids Erling Haaland and Matthijs de Ligt among many other world-class athletes like Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba.
Haaland is one of the best strikers in the world right now, and was awarded with the Golden Boy award for 2020, due to his unbelievable performance throughout the year. The Norwegian netted a second half hat-trick after coming off the bench in his debut for Dortmund, and has not stopped scoring since.
Considering his goalscoring exploits at Dortmund, it is easy to forget that Haaland arrived at the club only in January of this year. It has not even been a year since he moved from Salzburg to the Westfalenstadion.
As it is with every promising youngster these days, a move to the biggest clubs in the world is always rumoured to be around the corner. Barcelona and Real Madrid are among the names that have been linked with the goalscoring machine, for a move in the future.
However, Mino Raiola has called for a slowing down of the rumours. The agent explained that there is currently no rush for any move for Haaland. The player is happy at the club and wants to stay for the time being.
The striker is confident about a move to a bigger club in the future, but there is no movement at the moment. The same can be said for Juventus’ Matthijs de Ligt, who has a release clause worth €150 million that kicks in from 2022. A move to another European giant could surely be on the cards two years down the line.
