Mino Raiola possesses a massive clientele base across Europe. AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is arguably the biggest name on his client's list. Apart from the former Swede striker, he also deals with the transfer and contract negotiations of Manchester United star Paul Pogba, Inter Milan forward Romelu Lukaku and Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland.
