Who is Rafaela Pimenta, Paul Pogba’s lawyer quoted by Matias Pogba

Mentioned in Mathias Pogba’s video as “the most influential woman in football in the world”, Rafaela Pimenta remains unknown to the general public. However, since the death of one of the most famous agents in the world, Mino Raiola, it is she who supervises the players formerly under the responsibility of the Italian-Dutch.

Erling Haaland, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Marco Verratti or Paul Pogba, all are represented by one and the same person: Rafaela Pimenta. The former right-hand man of Mino Raiola, who now represents players formerly under the tutelage of the Italian-Dutch, has been hiding behind numerous transfers for several years now.

If since the death of the most famous agent in the world, she takes care of certain transactions alone, the lawyer has been established in the world of football for a long time.

Responsible for scrutinizing the paperwork, the Brazilian was also executive vice-president of the Football Forum (Mr. Raiola was the president and his colleague, Jorge Mendes, the vice-president), a movement bringing together agents and players who oppose FIFA’s wishes to introduce a fee limit for agents.

The Brazilian lawyer has now been following the 2018 world champion since he was 17, a relationship that goes beyond the professional for the woman who considers her second mother a relationship already noticed during the report centered around Paul Pogba on Prime video (The Pogmentary ).

But if he considers it that way, it is because Rafaela Pimenta has not stopped defending and protecting the Juventus player in recent years. The latter plays a major role in the speaking of the French, but also in business management.

She defends her player, like a mother would, when his image is damaged and does not hesitate to counter-attack. As during the Euro in France, where at the end of the France-Albania match, the middle of the blues made a finger of honor in the direction of the press gallery.

Or when he is targeted by the Football Leaks investigation and accused of having placed the income from his image rights in a tax haven, it is still her who comes to clear the field.
