Remember that Raiola also represents players like Paul Pogba, but also youngsters, including Xavi Simons, who plays for Barça's academy and is nearing a contract renewal.
Raiola has been news in recent hours because he wants more money from Barça for his involvement in the De Ligt deal. Barça, meanwhile, want the deal closed as soon as possible.
