Mino Raiola riles the powerful, despises lateness and will never wear a suit... but as he engineers a mega-money transfer for Erling Haaland, what is the 'super agent' really like to deal with in showdown talks?

Sometimes in football, clubs just have to dance with the devil and in the eyes of many chairmen and executives across the continent there is nobody more troublesome to deal with than Mino Raiola.

It can seem as if Raiola views unrest between his players and their clubs as an achievement rather than a deterrent. Earlier this year, he brazenly announced Paul Pogba was finished at Manchester United. Recently, he was strutting in front of the cameras in Spain as he held talks with Barcelona and Real Madrid over Erling Haaland's future, much to Borussia Dortmund's chagrin.
