Mino Raiola represents players including Paul Pogba, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Marco Verratti, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Romelu Lukaku. He does not represent the FCB striker. However, he still believes that Messi should pursue his future somewhere else.
Raiola Said:
“A player like Messi must try another experience with a different club and prove how great he is.”
“Barcelona must be reinvented again.”
Furthermore, he added:
“The market, as such, no longer exists. Now it is countries who are signing players, and that isn’t football. But transfers of €200m are going to be normal from now on; it won’t be crazy to see that.”
He is the leading goal-scorer of Barcelona. He has also helped FC Barcelona to their 29 trophies which include Four UCL titles and Eight La Liga trophies.
