Agent Guiseppe Riso has paid tribute to Mino Raiola after overseeing Sandro Tonali's move Newcastle.

Tonali completed his €80m move from AC Milan last week.

Riso took the chance to highlight the influence of Raiola, who passed away last year.

“It is operation that will go down in history, we are happy," Riso told reporters. "There is a lot of satisfaction. I would like to take this opportunity to remember Mino Raiola, his absence is felt, and he has changed the way of working and has also helped: he has created a show and attraction.

"I would like a prize to be organised because he deserves it. When such important properties as Newcastle in the Premier League, which is the NBA of football, come forward, it is right that all parties sit down and reason."
