  • Rafaela Pimenta is one of football's most powerful agents. Her sprawling list of clients includes Erling Haaland, Matthijs De Ligt, Marco Veratti, Donyell Malen, and Paul Pogba. She helped build an empire with controversial super-agent Mino Raiola, and took the reigns when he passed away in 2022. She stands out as one of the few women working in the controversial, male dominated field.

    The true successor to Mino Riola. She may not be the most powerful woman in football but she's definitely the most powerful agent right now.

    The red disco light flashing side to side in some segments of the video is too bright and distracting, makes it difficult to watch the video. Should have put a disclaimer or something.

    WOW! Players are people? That's why asking tens of millions for a transfer and salary is fair? The previous generation of players weren't really people. Such a backstabbing business.

      Exactly that’s why Mino Raiola was loved by every player he represents. He would fight for the best interest of a player to earn as much as they are worth.
      That’s why some clubs owners/presidents and managers hates him. They accuse Mino Raiola is a leech. But it’s actually the club owners who leeching from players by paying them less money than they are worth.

      @@iMadrid11 Agents have an interest to negotiate the most because they get commissions. If you think an agent would let a player go to a club where he wouldn't get a big free you're just naive. There are hundreds of stories of footballers ruined by agents.

      @@cutez0r Agent fees are now negotiated separately on top of the club transfer fees. So that idea no longer holds water. The agent will still earn the same commission no matter which club closed the deal.

    • @cutez0r

      @@iMadrid11 It's not true. Agents can represent both the interested parties and take max 10% of the transfer fee and 6% of a player's salary. Players also have to pay their agents if their salary is over 200k a year since the new rules prohibit clubs from paying. It matters a lot where the player signs because that reflects on commission. That's how many footballers got ruined by greedy agents.

      What? She was never Mino's wife! She built business with him because she was a successful lawyer in Brazil and was also a teacher at the most rated brazilian university, Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Be careful, envy kills.

      Please jus delete this comment... did u even watch the video. She built the company with Mino, she was even a bigger name in football back then than him. The only thing is she took the back seat from the spotlight, now Mino is gone she has to step up to the spotlight.
