Late Raiola was the agent of superstars, such as; Borussia Dortmund’s Erling Haaland, Paul Pogba of Manchester United, AC Milan’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Chelsea’s Romelu Lukaku and Marco Verratti of Paris Saint Germain.
According to reports, the 54-year-old had been hospitalised in Milan where he underwent surgery for an undisclosed illness.
