Raiola was in hospital in Milan on Thursday when it was reported in Italy that he had passed away.The news went viral and led to Real Madrid tweeting out their condolences to Raiola's family.
Real's tweet was swiftly deleted after Raiola himself spoke out via social media."Current health status for the ones wondering: p****d off," wrote Raiola. "Second time in 4 months they kill me".
Close friend Jose Fortes Rodriguez told NOS in Holland that Raiola "is in a bad position, but he hasn't died."
