Mohamed Ihattaren may leave the stable of agent Mino Raiola. It General Newspaper mentions the chance that the Sampdoria midfielder will soon change agent. The newspaper writes on Saturday that the first talks about this have already been held. The possible new supervisor of nineteen-year-old Ihattaren immediately faces a difficult task to breathe new life into his career.
Ihattaren broke through at PSV and scored highly under the then trainer Mark van Bommel. The people of Eindhoven wanted to break open and extend the talent’s contract. However, an agreement was never reached. Ihattaren then came into conflict with current PSV coach Roger Schmidt, leading to an inevitable departure last summer. Juventus hooked the attacking midfielder with a contract until the summer of 2025 and loaned him directly to Sampdoria. So far, this collaboration has not been a success. Ihattaren has returned to the Netherlands and according to the AD and The Telegraph Both parties have already grown tired of each other.
According to the reports, it is difficult to get a grip on Ihattaren in Italy. For example, he would regularly take a trip to acquaintances in Monte Carlo and Milan, cities that are two and a half hours away from Genoa. In addition to his own manager José Fortes Rodriguez, who has been guiding him for several years on behalf of Raiola’s office, Ihattaren also has a personal supervisor in Italy. However, it hasn’t been enough to keep Ihattaren in line. A split now seems imminent.
The death of Ihattaren’s father in 2019 is seen as a tipping point by people who followed him closely. After all, he was seen as a binding agent, someone who made decisions and could be strict. When he disappeared, the panels started to slide, also within the van Ihattaren family, or so it sounds. Raiola has experience with ‘players with a manual’; from Mario Balotelli to Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The personal guidance of Ihattaren has so far been unsuccessful and may therefore come to an end.
