Super agent Mino Raiola slapped with GLOBAL transfer ban

Super agent Mino Raiola has been hit with a three month GLOBAL transfer ban.

The Mirror says Raiola had previously been handed a three-month ban from working within Italy, but the chairman of FIFA's Disciplinary Committee has extended the ban across the globe.

FIFA have now taken on the ban, which will run until August 9.

The decision could have serious implications for the Premier League transfer window, especially for players like Paul Pogba, who has been linked with a move away from Manchester United. Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt is also a Raiola client.

A mega money move to Real Madrid had been touted in recent weeks.

FIFA's statement read: "The Chairman of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee has today decided to extend the sanctions imposed by the Italian Football Association (FIGC) on the intermediaries Carmine and Vincenzo Raiola to have worldwide effect.

"Carmine Raiola is suspended for a period of three months and Vincenzo Raiola for a period of two months.

"The decision of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee was notified today and takes immediate effect.

"For further information concerning the grounds of the sanction please contact FIGC."
