Mino Raiola, the agent who represented some of football's most high-profile players, has died at the age of 54.
The Dutch-Italian had a stable of players that included Erling Haaland, Paul Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Leading agents and their players were represented by Raiola as president of the Football Forum.
The Raiola family said in a statement that his presence will be missed.
In infinite sadness, we share the passing of the most caring and amazing football agent that ever was.
Mino fought until the end with the same strength he put on negotiation tables to defend our players. Mino made us proud and never told us.
Mino touched many lives through his work and wrote a new chapter in the history of modern football.
The mission of making football a better place for players will continue with the same passion.
We would like to ask for respect for the privacy of family and friends in this time of grief, and we would like to thank everybody for the huge amount of support received during these difficult times.
More to come.
