By the time Paul Pogba's move to Manchester United was finally announced in the early hours of Tuesday morning, "?Mino Raiola had become the closest thing the world of football agents has to a household name, orchestrating the entire move from start to finish.
"?La Gazzetta dello Sport have revealed that it's not just the agent's profile which has increased thanks to Pogba - with the Italian earning nearly €50m from his business with the 23-year-old alone since he took over his affairs in 2012.
Pogba-Manchester United: 25 milioni a Raiola! Nelle casse della Juve 78 #calciomercato https://t.co/KEygtOUVqC
The majority of that money is said to have come from this week's transfer, with the newspaper reporting that Raiola received payments of €25m from Juventus and €10m from United for facilitating the move.
With Raiola dealing with Pogba's move to the Italian club as a 19-year-old in 2012, he has managed to make an estimated €11m in fees from the initial move and subsequent contract renewals, putting his earnings within spitting distance of the €50m mark.
Between Pogba's move and the duel-switches of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan to United, Raiola has had a wildly profitable summer.
There is no deal done regarding Paul Pogba, lots of bla bla bla.
Journalist = parrots
No deal done between Clubs
Its a game between Italy press and UK press who announce it first and who is worse.
His business is far from over though - with murmurs of a possible move for Blaise Matuidi before the transfer window closes at the end of the month, and either a £60m+ move or a bumper new contract for Everton striker Romelu Lukaku on the cards.
There's some 'Mario Balotelli' lad expected to be on the move, too.
'Bla bla bla' indeed.
