Mino Raiola could make Manchester United cough up £41 million for his role in the biggest transfer of all time.
The world record transfer of Paul Pogba to Manchester United had earned Raiola a mammoth agent’s fee of £23 million, but this striking figure could rise further up to a ridiculous £41 million, if the book “Football Leaks: The Dirty Business of Football” is to be believed.
The book cites that Raiola had a secret clause inserted in Pogba’s contract, which will ask Manchester United to pay him £3.3 million per year for the next five years. The Red Devils were also made to pay an amount of £2.2 million on Pogba’s behalf. Therefore, the total cost of Raiola’s services could stack up to £41 million.
The book, published in Germany, also revealed that Paul Pogba is not earning as much as it was indicated earlier. Pogba gets paid £165,588 per week, a figure much smaller than the previously reported £250k-a-week. However, Pogba will earn an extra annual loyalty bonus of £3.4 million from next year.
Another startling revelation of the book is the humongous salary of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. With an astonishing salary of £367,640 per week, the big Swede is the highest earning player in the Premier League.
It appears that Manchester United are burning some serious cash to restore their glory days.
