The 54-year-old's death came just three days after reports in Italy claimed he had died only for them to be corrected later.

Mino Raiola the football super agent

Raiola has built a reputation over the years as one of the best negotiators in the world in matters of football agency.

Until his death, the Italy-born Dutchman represented a host of high-profile superstars including Pogba, Dortmund's Erling Haaland, and veteran striker, Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

His ability to broker huge football transfers including Pogba's multi-million-pound return to Old Trafford earned him the tag "super agent."

Pogba has now become the latest football star to mourn Raiola, with the World-Cup winning star taking to Instagram on Sunday, May 1, to pen a moving tribute to him.

The United ace shared a video of photos with Raiola having a good time off the field together with the caption:

“Always in my heart. Thank you Mimi."

Haaland, Tottenham striker Mido, and Napoli forward Hirving Lozano are some of the top football stars who have also mourned Raiola.

Ronaldo linked with Real Madrid return

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Real Madrid are reportedly monitoring Cristiano Ronaldo's situation at Old Trafford ahead of the summer transfer window.

The La Liga champions are said to be attracted by Ronaldo's goalscoring form with Manchester United this term.

The 37-year-old has scored an incredible 23 goals for the Red Devils, with 17 of those coming in the Premier League.
