The death of Mino Raiola has left many questions in the world of football.
The super-agent, who passed away over the weekend at the age of 54 after battling a serious illness, left behind an agency that holds some of the biggest stars in the football world, including Paul Pogba, Arling Holland, Gianluigi Donaroma and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Many questions now arise, with economic implications, concerning the future of many.
Who, for example, gets the management of the players' agency?
Will the players continue with the agency, or will they choose to move to other agents?
According to Forbes, Raiola's fortune was estimated at $ 85 million.
Whoever was one of the five most famous football agents in the world was involved in some of the biggest deals in the history of the industry, and was even a "pioneer" when it came to the size of the commissions he demanded from the teams.
He was involved in transactions totaling $ 847.7 million.

The agency was small and limited, and based on the hard work of a few who had complete trust between them.
The key man besides Raiola was Rafaela Piamenta, Mino's lawyer and his partner for 20 years.
In addition, his son Mario, Vicenza Raiola (his nephew), and Jose Ports, who was a key figure in recruiting and building the agency, worked closely alongside them.
According to reports, the Raiola family is interested in continuing to operate the agency, and continuing to manage the players who are signed to it.
Two of them, Paul Pogba and Zlatan, have in recent days expressed the deep connection they had to Raiola.
In Italy, for example, it was reported that Zlatan was by Raiola's side in his last days and spent long days with the family in the difficult moments, and even received special permission from Milan to be with the man he considers a "family".
Yesterday Pogba tweeted "Always in my heart, thank you Mimi", with a short video reminiscent of the connection between them.
The Raiola family estimates that the two will continue to be in the agency.
Raiola's men hope that Arling Holland will also continue to work with them, ahead of his big and well-publicized move, but it is still unclear what the Norwegian and his family will decide.
Bild claims that Pimenta will be in charge of the deal, apparently with Manchester City, and will close it.
"These are players who have been with Raiola for many years," his associates said of players like Pogba and Zlatan. ".
