Reports that Mino Raiola - the agent of Erling Haaland, Paul Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic - has died have been denied.
The Italian is said to be suffering from an illness and Italian news outlets had reported on Thursday that he had died. However, close friend and assistant Jose Fortes Rodriguez has since told NOS that he is in a "bad position" but has not passed away.
A senior doctor at Milan's San Raffaele hospital has also told Italian news agency ANSA that Raiola was "fighting" for his life. The hospital's intensive care unit chief Alberto Zangrillo said he was "indignant" at the reports in Italy.
