Paul Pogba's time at Manchester United appears to be up barring a miraculous turnaround but the recent passing of Mino Raiola means someone else must step in to negotiate the player's next move.
That is where one Rafaela Pimenta comes in. She worked alongside the super agent for 18 years and is poised to take on what the Italian left behind. Pimenta, who qualified as a lawyer, helped Rivaldo and Cesar Sampaio set up Guaratinguetà, a small club in the state of Sao Paulo, earlier in her career.
It was whilst she worked for the Brazilian side that she met Raiola. Pimenta went on to become one of his closest aides, moving to Monte Carlo to work with the Italian. Her ability to speak six language enabled her to negotiate the transfer market effectively.
