Agent Mino Raiola discussed his influence within European football in a wide-ranging interview.

Raiola represents the likes of Paul Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

“It’s January 1, the theatre opens, the curtain rises and the show can start. But behind the scenes, the main actors are already busy with rehearsals for half the year. It is the same way for us," said Raiola on the winter transfer window.

Raiola said that he created the modern transfer system.

“I don’t want to come across as arrogant, but I think that I created this market. Football became a show and entertainment. I invented the football market in the 25 years I’ve been active. It’s a gigantic industry by now, which I shaped by never shutting my mouth and always taking a stand for my players," said Raiola.

Raiola then outlined his plans for players, agents, and clubs to break away from FIFA.

“FIFA is done, the old system is over. This is the start of a new era, we are at the foundation stages. It’s time for a revolution.”
