Last week, Joan Laporta spoke with Mino Raiola. A meeting which did not go unnoticed and which could have colossal importance in the next summer transfer window of FC Barcelona.
Present in Turin earlier this week to attend the presentation of the Golden Boy trophy to Pedri , Joan Laporta has not been inactive. The president of FC Barcelona indeed took advantage of his trip to Italy to meet Mino Raiola , agent of several players called to host the next summer transfer window, starting with Erling Haaland . The Norwegian phenomenon of Borussia Dortmund seems doomed to leave Germany at the end of the season, and contenders are scrambling to get their hands on him. Real Madrid dreams of associating the BVB striker with Kylian Mbappé , while PSG wishes to bet on him to precisely replace his French striker as revealed to you on 10sport.com. The FC Barcelona also hopes to have a say in this matter, despite its financial problems. An obstacle that Joan Laporta hopes to remove in the coming months.
These revelations about the Raiola/Laporta meeting
In an article dedicated to Mino Raiola, Dutch media NRC returned to the meeting between Joan Laporta and the super-agent, also looking after the interests of Gianluigi Donnarumma , Xavi Simons , Matthijs de Ligt or < strong> Paul Pogba , currently in his last year of contract with Manchester United . It is the president of FC Barcelona who would be at the initiative of this meeting by having called directly Mino Raiola so that the two men can talk to each other in person, in a chic hotel in Turin. A meeting that would have lasted several hours, and during which Joan Laporta would have explained how FC Barcelona intended to get rid of its enormous debt and hope to forge a new team. As previously indicated, the name of Erling Haaland has emerged, as has that of Noussair Mazraoui , defender of the Ajax. For his part, Mino Raiola would have listened to the speech of Joan Laporta , given his opinion, without suggesting one of its players. Indeed, NRC explains that the agent does not have a habit of bragging about the merits of his clients, but instead lets interested clubs make their case. “The managers now know how it works with me,” Mino Raiola explains to the Dutch media. Whether they go left or right, the result is what Raiola wants. No one has ever been able to make me do anything. That's why I survived in this business for so long. It remains to be seen from now on whether Joan Laporta will be able to be persuasive in welcoming Erling Haaland or another member of the ' Raiola team at FC Barcelona .
