"Hello, this is Mino. Don't leave me a voicemail—it's better to text."
Mino Raiola's voicemail greeting tells you several things about the man who has become one of the most powerful agents in world football: that he receives a lot of phone calls, that his time is precious and that he likes to get straight to the point.
Raiola's phone has been ringing a lot this summer.
He has helped to broker Matthijs de Ligt's seismic €75 million transfer from Ajax to Juventus, Romelu Lukaku's €65 million switch to Inter Milan, Mario Balotelli's romantic repatriation at hometown club Brescia and Moise Kean's €27.
