Quote of the day: Raiola

Zlatan is the most expensive transfer of this summer. If Real Madrid wouldn't have signed Cristiano Ronaldo they would have been forced to pay a penalty of 30 millions, so they actually paid 64. For Kaká, Florentino Pérez has paid 66 millions. While Ibra costed 70 millions: 45 cash, Eto'o valued at 20 and another 5 because of the non-arrival of Hleb.

Mino Raiola,
agent of Barcelona player Zlatan Ibrahimovic
