Big news as a small ban becomes a worldwide ban for moneymaking Mino Raiola. How does this affect the Premier League during the summer transfer window?

What does this mean for players under Raiola from the Premier League?
As of the Italian ban, no Premier League players in the Dutchman’s care would be affected. Those not moving to the Serie A are able to move around despite the ruling. The players’ moves are not swayed by the three-mount embargo according to the Independent. However, that was reported before the FIFA development and the world status upgrade of Mino’s fate changed the game for this summer window.
This could now hinder many moves across Europe. The big fish boasts names such as Paul Pogba, Matthijs de Ligt, Marco Verratti, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Mario Balotelli and many more names that broke the net in Europe’s top leagues.
If Pogba was serious about a move to Real Madrid after flirting with them for half a season, it could be in jeopardy until August 9th. Hopefully, he can handle business with pace and tie things up in a matter of weeks.
Others wanting to join the Premier League could see their dream moves not taking place. This will likely force some players to look for other agents to help get their potential moves over the line. Many things could be up for stake.
