DBasia.news – The former Liverpool player, Oussama Assaidi, spoke well of his former agent, Mino Raiola. The agent has great ability to negotiate and could have completed the transfer of Paul Pogba, the Manchester United midfielder.
Assaidi was once handled by Raiola when he completed his transfer from Heerenveen to Liverpool in 2012. Assaidi had a good impression on Raiola, although the public did not like him because Raiola was considered to be concerned with money and forced the transfer of players.
“He (Raiola) came so I was happy because he wanted to represent me,” Assaidi said, telling his first meeting with Raiola, quoted from Mirror.
“He still makes me curious. He looks tough but really cares about you. When it comes to getting the contract done, he goes through the fire (struggles) for your sake. That’s him.”
Assaidi also explained how Raiola’s toughness in negotiating, tried to complete the transfer that benefited his client.
“In 2015 I moved to a club in Dubai (Al-Ahli Dubai) because of my own decision. Then, we separated (Assaidi and Raiola), there was no feeling of hatred,” added Assaidi.
“He fights for you. He can be in the discussion room four times to make the best deal. The other agents want me to maintain the club’s relationship as a team, which can benefit you. Mino doesn’t care about that.”
Judging from all this, Pogba could just completes his transfer to Real Madrid or Juventus and handed it all over to one of the super European agents.
