Super agent Mino Raiola fighting for life after reports in Italy claim that he died

Mino Raiola has denied reports suggesting he has passed away.

Football reporter Fabrizio Romano said in a tweet that Raiola commented: “Current health status for the ones wondering: p***** off second time in four months they kill me".

Dr. Alberto Zangrillo from San Raffaele Hospital in Milano told Ansa: “I’m outraged by the phone calls from pseudo-journalists speculating on the life of a man who is fighting to survive”.

Raiola's doctor stated: "He is in an extremely critical condition, he is fighting".

Raiola has developed a reputation in football for representing stars such as Paul Pogba, Erling Haaland and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The agent played an intricate role in the world record breaking transfer at the time of Paul Pogba to Manchester United for a reported £89m.

In a tweet, Italian outlet Tg La7 stated: "Mino Raiola, the famous prosecutor of several champions, from Ibrahimovic to Donnarumma to the German Haaland".

Real Madrid also paid tribute via an official statement on the club's Twitter feed.
