Agent Mino Raiola admits he let down Juventus midfielder Federico Bernardeschi.

Bernardeschi quit Raiola to join the stable of Federico Pastorello this week as his contract runs down this current season.

"When I lose a player, it's always my fault," Raiola said after a meeting with AC Milan officials on Thursday.

“I wish Bernardeschi all the best. They are always free to leave.

"They aren't prisoners."

Pastorello stated upon the switch: "It should have happened earlier, but sometimes good things take a long time to happen!! I am proud to announce Federico Bernardeschi signed with SportManagement. Welcome to the family."
