Mino Raiola lists Paul Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic among his many clientsMany of Europe’s top football agents, including Mino Raiola and Jorge Mendes, have joined forces with up to two hundred UK-based agents, to fight FIFA’s plans to curb their power and influence in the transfer market. "FIFA say they are ready to progress with the new rules, yet the consultation period is still to begin," Stein said. Stein said the basis of any potential litigation would claim the rules were anti-competitive and a restriction of trade. Globally, agents earned more than £500m in international transfers business last year - an increase of almost 20 per cent year on year. FIFA says 80 percent of that total was paid by clubs from Italy, England, Germany, Portugal, Spain and France.
