Most recently in the news for Paul Pogba’s world record transfer from Juventus to Manchester United – where he reportedly pocketed £24 million – the Italian is also responsible for some of the most high-profile clients in the footballing world; brokering a deal to transfer Frank Rijkaard from Milan to Sporting Lisbon.

His long list of clients includes the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Mario Balotelli, Marek Hamsik and many more. Since 2004, he has helped the Swede generate more than €100 million in transfer fees, including a €49 million deal that saw him move from Inter Milan to Barcelona.

Because he plays such a significant role in deciding the transfers of some of the best players in the world, clubs ensure that they always maintain a healthy relationship with him, consequently, he holds considerable influence over some of the world’s biggest clubs.
