This summer transfer window saw more ridiculous transfer fees than ever.
A world record fee for Paul Pogba. £47 million for John Stones, £34 million for Sadio Mane, £32 million Christian Benteke, and €80 million on Renato Sanches.
It's crazy money. And it helped line the pockets of their agents quite handsomely.
Take Mino Raiola for example. The superagent had Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Paul Pogba, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan all moving to Man United, and represented Mario Balotelli's move to Nice as well.
According to AS, Raiola took home £27 million just from the two transfers of Pogba and Mkhitaryan alone. By comparison, the highest paid player in the world got £17 million in wages last season.
How ridiculous is that? It could have been more for Raiola had he managed to get Blaise Matuidi a new club, as the French midfielder wanted a move away from PSG.
