I read that De Ligt wanted an agent who was an ex player so he’d understand things from a player’s position and that’s what he did .. he apparently trusted his agent’s judgment ( rightly or wrongly) in hiring Raiola .
All sounds perfectly feasible considering the lad’s age
I don't see why we should pretend that De Ligt is just a kid that doesn't have a say in anything. He isn't a child anymore, and he surely isn't that dumb. He knows what's going on, i mean it's fucking Mino Raiola EVERYONE knows how that guy operates.
So either De Ligt is cool with it, what would be okay because it's his decision and if he isn't set on joining Barca then let Raiola do his thing. Or he is actually dumb as a brick, blindly trusts Raiola, doesn't understand what's going on at all and has to join whoever pays Raiola the most even though he only wants to join Barca deep down. I personally think it's the first option.
Raiola isn't the best influence but it's still De Ligts decision. If he wants to join Barca he can join Barca, Raiola can't stop him. But if he only wants to join Barca if Barca matches the best offer then it's also his decision, not Raiolas.
