Former pizza man Mino Raiola has had one of the truly remarkable stories as a football agent. Arguably one of the most high profile agents in football today, Raiola was part of massive moves in Europe as early as 1993, when he was part of Dennis Bergkamp's move to Inter Milan. His first major independent transfer was Pavel Nedved to Lazio, and then to Juventus.

He rose to even more fame after aligning himself with Zlatan Ibrahimovic in 2003, after the intervention of Ibrahimovic's best friend and Raiola's client, Maxwell Scherrer. He brokered Zlatan's moves all over Europe to clubs like Juventus, FC Barcelona and Manchester United, among others.

Today, Raiola's clientele include the biggest stars in football. He brought Henrik Mkhitaryan, Romelu Lukaku and Paul Pogba to Old Trafford. Pogba's record transfer helped Mino pocket over $25M and he bought the former Al Capone mansion in the United States. A flashy, yet loyal agent, many players rely on Mino for all their dealings, even outside football.
