The agent of some of the top class players in the world received a worldwide ban, handed to him by FIFA. The initial restriction was not to deal in Italy only (Wednesday 8th) but has since changed to a global ban. As published by Sky Sports, both Raiola and his family member, Vincenzo Raiola has both been hit with the limitations in player transactions and the reason why has not been released by the Italian FA. It is as yet unclear why the two men have been suspended. Massimo Diana, who is the attorney for both Raiolas, will ask for an expedited process to determine the reasons for the suspensions and will also request the suspension of both sentences. (via Sky Sports) What does this mean for players under Raiola from the Premier League? As of the Italian ban, no Premier League players in the Dutchman’s care would be affected. Those not moving to the Serie A are able to move around despite the ruling. The players’ moves are not swayed by the three-mount embargo according to the Independent. However, that was reported before the FIFA development and the world status upgrade of Mino’s fate changed the game for this summer window. This could now hinder many moves across Europe. The big fish boasts names such as Paul Pogba, Matthijs de Ligt, Marco Verratti, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Mario Balotelli and many more names that broke the net in Europe’s top leagues. BREAKING: Football agent Mino Raiola's ban from the Italian FA has been made worldwide by the Chairman of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee. — Sky Sports News (@SkySportsNews) May 10, 2019 If Pogba was serious about a move to Real Madrid after flirting with them for half a season, it could be in jeopardy until August 9th. Hopefully, he can handle business with pace and tie things up in a matter of weeks. Others wanting to join the Premier League could see their dream moves not taking place. This will likely force some players to look for other agents to help get their potential moves over the line. Many things could be up for stake.<doc-sep>Published 12:31 PM , May 11 2019 GMT+1 | Last updated 3:06 PM , May 11 2019 GMT+1 Mino Raiola has been given a three-month worldwide ban from football activity by Fifa's disciplinary committee.

Carmine Raiola is suspended for a period of three months and Vincenzo Raiola for a period of two months. "The decision of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee was notified today and takes immediate effect." The ban begins immediately and will end after the English summer transfer window closes.

Pogba and De Ligt have been heavily linked with a transfer away from their respective clubs, though the 51-year-old has reassured his ban won't affect any potential business during the summer window.

De Ligt, meanwhile, is expected to leave Ajax at the end of the season with the likes of Barcelona, Juventus and Bayern Munich interested in snapping him up.<doc-sep>Robbie Jay Barratt - AMA/Getty Images FIFA announced Paul Pogba and Matthijs de Ligt's agent, Mino Raiola, has been hit with a worldwide transfer ban. Per the press release, Raiola's ban will be for three months, which means the Premier League transfer window will close before his ban concludes. In other words, if Pogba wants a transfer away from Manchester United this summer—and Julien Laurens of ESPN FC reported this week that the star midfielder desires a move to Real Madrid with United missing out on Champions League football next season—he'll either need to handle any negotiations himself or acquire new representation. Pogba's brother, Florentin Pogba, hinted that his younger brother could be eying a move. "Things are going to happen," he told AS.com. "Summer's coming. We'll see if he stays, if he goes..." That's bad news for United, who could follow a disappointing season—they currently sit sixth on the Premier League table—with the loss of their best player and most high-profile superstar. While City and Liverpool are fighting for the Premier League title, Liverpool and Tottenham are squaring off for the Champions League title and Arsenal will face Chelsea in the Europa League Finals, United will end the 2018-19 season devoid of silverware. Videos you might like As for Raiola, a reason for his transfer ban wasn't offered by FIFA. He responded to the ban by calling it "a sentence dominated by political willing, without taking into the right consideration of law" and "a sentence based on false grounds and lies," according to Joe Wright of Goal.com. Matthijs de Ligt, meanwhile, has been tipped for a transfer to Barcelona from Ajax this summer, though according to Hugo Cerezo of Marca, that "has been put on standby due to agent Raiola's concerns about the commission he would receive as part of the deal." Per that report, "The notorious agent is holding out for 20 percent of the transfer fee for himself, a figure of 14 million euros, which is incredibly high when you consider that agents usually receive between five and 10 percent." La Liga's transfer window doesn't close until the end of August, however, so Raiola's recent ban may not affect those negotiations. But with the Premier League moving its transfer window up several weeks before the start of this past season, Raiola won't be able to conduct any offseason transfer business for his clients in the league or intending to join the league. It's another wrinkle in a summer for Pogba where it appears likely that "things are going to happen."<doc-sep>
Agent Mino Raiola has had his ban extended to "a worldwide effect" by FIFA. Raiola given three-month ban by Italian FA on Wednesday Raiola, who represents the likes of Paul Pogba, Matthijs de Ligt and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, was given a three-month suspension on Wednesday by the Italian Football Association (FIGC), although it did not provide any specific reasoning. Raiola moved to reassure his clients that potential business in the coming transfer window would not be affected as the ban was restricted to Italian territory, while he made it clear he would contest the FIGC's decision. But FIFA announced on Friday that it has extended the suspension to a global scale. "The Chairman of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee has today decided to extend the sanctions imposed by the Italian Football Association (FIGC) on the intermediaries Carmine and Vincenzo Raiola to have worldwide effect. Carmine Raiola is suspended for a period of three months and Vincenzo Raiola for a period of two months," FIFA said. "The decision of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee was notified today and takes immediate effect." Raiola, one of the world's most high-profile and influential agents, claimed via Twitter on Thursday that the FIGC's sanction was "a sentence dominated by political willing, without taking into the right consideration of law." He added that it was "a sentence based on false grounds and lies". Could have repercussions for moves involving Pogba, De Ligt... The latest news could have repercussions for any of Raiola's clients who had been relying on him to broker moves before next season. Manchester United star Pogba has been heavily linked with Real Madrid for many months, while Ajax captain De Ligt has been tipped to follow team-mate Frenkie de Jong and join Barcelona.
