MONTE CARLO, Monaco -- Even today, it still comes up. Even after a quarter-century in the gritty, muddy trench warfare that is football's transfer system. Even after working side-by-side with the late Mino Raiola, one of the most famous and influential agents out there. Even after representing the likes of Pavel Nedved, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Marco Verratti, Paul Pogba, Erling Haaland and others -- a multinational galaxy of stars, from Ballon d'Or winners (Nedved) to self-anointed deities (Ibrahimovic). Even after having sat across the table and negotiated deals with the biggest clubs -- from Real Madrid to Manchester United, from Bayern Munich to Paris Saint-Germain, from Manchester City to Arsenal -- and sponsors in the world.
