RAIOLA: "Ibra would still be at Real if he had gone there. If Ibra had gone to Madrid, he would still play there today. Because Zlatan is not formed on the strength of a philosophy, but on that of a great player, like Benzema, Cristiano, Di St?fano or Puskas. trained on pure talent and Bar?a on a philosophy, on an idea of the game that you could participate in if they put you in that system. Another difference, for me, is that Madrid let Cristiano go. Barcelona did not let Messi go, because he was fundamental to their philosophy ".
Raiola on relations with presidents and managers: "I don't have a great relationship with Florentino Perez. I like talking to sports directors, unless a president has similar functions. I am thinking of Gino Pozzo, who is president, sports director, coach, player. Then there are others like that, like Agnelli who is a friend and we talk to each other a couple of times in a year. But at Juve I deal with Paratici, as at Milan I deal with Maldini.”
