Raiola praises AC Milan striker Ibrahimovic, Juventus defender De Ligt

Super agent Mino Raiola is happy to have been recognised as the best in the world.

Raiola won the 'Best agent award' at the Golden Boy 2020 and spoke about some of his most famous clients.

"I've seen many players in my career who were tired at the same age of Zlatan. I almost felt sorry for them to continue. I have never seen this tiredness in him. For me, he can easily play for five more years," he said.

“I regretted bringing him to the MLS, it was a waste of time there. In the future he will take an important role, maybe he can become the president of UEFA, in order to change football.

"We have a beautiful relationship, but that's the way it is for everyone, they are part of my family. With Zlatan we had unique adventures. It's not as tough as he looks.

“De Ligt is not a common player, he is honest, also when he has to criticise himself. He is a born leader, he takes decision for himself and for the group. He could run a country, he speaks Italian better than I do."
