Agent Mino Raiola accused Serie A clubs of losing their identity and snipes at Aurelio De Laurentiis, but welcomes outside investment. ‘I don’t know if Inter are Chinese or American, but Napoli are owned by a Roman…’
The representative of players such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Paul Pogba, Matthijs de Ligt and Erling Haaland has never held back on criticism and reacted to Napoli President De Laurentiis proposing a new European League.
“I find it strange that De Laurentiis has only now realised that football needs to be completely reformed,” Raiola told RAI Sport.
“Today in Italy we have Milan who are American. I don’t know if Inter are Chinese or American, someone will tell me…
“Roma are American, Napoli are owned by a Roman. Perhaps we are more international, while Juventus are still in the hands of the Agnelli family.”
The reference to Napoli being ‘owned by a Roman’ is because De Laurentiis is based in Rome, even though he was born in Naples and still identifies as being Neapolitan.
“We must be careful not to lose space in the football pyramid. If we don’t all work together and form a new project, we’ll realise we’re not even in it anymore,” continued Raiola.
“The most important league in the world now is England for three reasons: money, showmanship and infrastructure, all of which we are lacking in Italy.
“However, we’ll see if the Americans can run our football. There is liquidity there to invest in sport, they are purchasing during their best period and our worst.
“They are investing heavily in Europe and above all Italy. There aren’t any real estate assets here, and they see that as a positive. They think the situation can only improve.”
Genoa are in advanced negotiations to sell to American investors, after Roma, Milan, Fiorentina, Venezia and Spezia were already purchased by US businesses, while Bologna’s owner is Canadian.

Americans are people who will always capitalize on the Vulnerable it has always been like this. Unfortunately for them they have the backing of Media to make them look like good people in the name of Investors. you have heard that whoever has money ha power but I tell you that Whoever owns media has power too. maybe people aren't aware how influential the media is. Look at Africa, they're called poor yet they have all valuable minerals to me Africans should be the richest people on earth yet they're not. It's sad that most Africans die without having seen a Diamond or gold with their eyes they only know refined ones which is sad.
