Paul Pogba’s summer exit from Manchester United is in major doubt as his agent Mino Raiola has been given a worldwide transfer ban by FIFA.

Earlier this week, the FIGC (Italian football federation) confirmed that Raiola had been suspended from all transfer activity in Italy for three months.

But FIFA has now announced that he is serving a worldwide ban for the same period, which places a number of potential high-profile transfers in jeopardy.

Raiola has represented Pogba for several years and earned £41m for brokering the midfielder’s move from Juventus to United in 2016.


Pogba is reportedly keen to leave Manchester United at the end of this season and has an eye on a move to Real Madrid.

Raiola, 51, also represents Ajax’s in-demand defender Matthijs de Ligt, who Barcelona are desperate to sign this summer.

A statement from Fifa read: ‘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.
