Mino Raiola 'fighting to survive' after Italian reports claimed super agent had died

Italian football agent Mino Raiola is reportedly "very ill" following false rumours of his death. The Italian, 54, is one of the most notable agents in world football, representing the likes of Erling Haaland, Paul Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic among a number of other high-profile clients.

Reports in Italy announced the agent had died on Thursday morning following an illness. Yet sources close to the Italian were quick to say that these were "fake rumours". Jose Fortes Rodriguez, a close colleague of the Italian, told reporters: "He's in a bad position, but he hasn't died."

Taking to Twitter on Thursday afternoon, Raiola said: "Current health status for the ones wondering: p***** off second time in 4 months they kill me. Seem also able to ressuscitate."
