Mino Raiola claims Paul Pogba is “under-rated” and Gary Lineker “hasn’t the slightest idea what he’s talking about.”
The agent spoke to Rai Sport this evening and was asked about a tweet Lineker sent asking if the Juventus midfielder was the most over-rated player in the world.
“When someone is paid to talk about something, that doesn’t mean he knows what he’s talking about. Lineker is one of those.

The agent spoke to Rai Sport this evening and was asked about a tweet Lineker sent asking if the Juventus midfielder was the most over-rated player in the world.
“When someone is paid to talk about something, that doesn’t mean he knows what he’s talking about. Lineker is one of those.
“Considering the qualities Paul has and the prices I see around Europe, I think Paul is under-rated,” said Raiola.
“How much is Pogba worth? The maximum amount a club is prepared to pay for him.
“Just look at a player who is on the bench of Belgium and Olympique Marseille, but is being sold for €40m.”
The reference was to Michy Batshuayi heading to Chelsea.
“When Gary Lineker talks about Pogba, he hasn’t the slightest idea what he’s talking about. I remember he said if Claudio Ranieri won the Premier League title with Leicester City, he’d present his show in his underpants. That tells you everything.”
Raiola was also asked about rumours Zlatan Ibrahimovic will sign for Manchester United on Friday.
“No decision has been made yet. We are close to a decision, but not yet.”
