News24 - With Mino Raiola now free to trade again, which stars could move?
======================================
Transfer fever in early summer is always awash with sensational gossip and conjecture.But after Real Madrid completed the first major signing of the summer in Eden Hazard on the same day that it was revealed Mino Raiola will soon be free to trade again, we may be about to see more substance to the soundbites. The Spanish giants finally announced the signing of Belgian playmaker Hazard on Friday after managing to come to an agreement with Chelsea for a fee, which could rise as high as £150million. The 28-year-old has signed on a five-year contract and will become the highest earner at the Bernabeu, earning £400,000 per week. But will he hold that title for long?Poignantly, on the same night that one of this year's eagerly awaited transfers transitioned from rumour to reality, Raiola saw his FIFA-imposed operating ban suspended by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.The return of the Dutch football influencer to the negotiating tables of Europe's elite clubs is likely to have the impact of oil on a straining engine.The super-agent holds the cards to some of this summer's other supposed big movers, with his return likely to have consequences for the futures of stars including Matthijs De Ligt and Frenchman Pogba.So will the return of Raiola finally push through the deals in waiting?

Paul Pogba Paul Pogba was reportedly offered the Manchester United captaincy by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer but the Frenchman is still supposedly angling for a way out of Old Trafford.Real Madrid have been tipped as the World Cup winner's most likely destination, with coach Zinedine Zidane already making it clear that he would like to work with the former Juventus star.Pogba's price has proven to be a stumbling block for Real and with Hazard now through the door following a club-record deal, keeping any deal below £100million has become a necessity. But that is unlikely to wash with the Red Devils with Pogba contracted for another two years and the club having an option to extend his deal by another 12 months to June 2022. Nevertheless, with Real Madrid
