Super Agent Accuses Real Of Buying Throw-away Players

Football super-agent Mino Raiola took a swipe at Real Madrid, accusing them of buying “throw-away” players and says Paul Pogba isn’t one of them.

The Italian agent, who is often in the news for his outrageous statements, represents the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Paul Pogba and Mario Balotelli.

Raiola insists that Los Blancos buy players for the intention of just throwing them away once they are done with them.

"Real Madrid have as their custom buying players as if they were buying kitchen gloves which you then throw away, as they do their players,” the agent said in an interview published by L'Equipe.

The agent confirmed that he and Pogba aren’t looking for a club like Madrid, as he believes they don’t necessarily believe in his potential.  

"Real Madrid are also a club that sees a player do well in six games in a World Cup and then buys him, we don't want a club like that,” he added.

“We want to go to a club that believes in Paul's potential. I'm not closing the doors on Real Madrid, but I'm not opening them either."

The war of words has come in response to the supposed interest that Real Madrid might have in signing Pogba.
