The role of football agents has become an indispensable bridge and hub between clubs and players. Including the world’s superstars such as Ronaldo, joining Real Madrid is through the contact of their own agents. As a football agent, you generally enjoy a higher annual income. According to international practice, his commission is 5%-20% of the contract amount of the player. For the player’s commercial income in advertising, business, etc., the broker can get 10%-20% commission. Among the football agents, the three most famous agents are Mendes and Raiola, and Zahavi.

Predator Mendes

Mendes was a player before becoming a broker, but his football talent is far less than his business talent, long-term mixed in the low-level league. Later, Mendes began to operate a video shop, mainly engaged in football video rental. From that time, Mendes had accumulated a lot of game videos to see the skills of watching people. Later, he opened a nightclub again, and the people he met in the nightclub made him embark on a career as a broker.

Since 2004, Mendes has controlled the European football transfer market. His star players and coaches include Mourinho, Cristiano Ronaldo, J Ronaldo, Quaresma, Degea, Rodriguez, Falcao, Di Maria, Nani, Coen Trang, Pepe, Deco, Marcelo, etc. Mendes, who holds so many high-quality resources, is definitely a hit in the football world. He has the highest interests and the most important meanings. First, he has top players in his hands. Second, he has established a good relationship with the club. The important thing is to have a great relationship with the top leaders of the clubs, and Atletico’s general manager Xiao Hill also said: “He is not the kind of agent who sells a player and no longer manages it. What he cares most is not the commission, but the balance between the players, the agent and the two clubs. The players he recommends are very good, some players are unknown at first, but as long as it is his recommendation, it is trustworthy, and he It is very important that brokers with rich resources maintain good relationships.

It can be seen that Mendes’s reputation has always been very good, and his negotiating ability is first-class. His players are often able to maximize the benefits of the club under his strategizing, and he is very good at putting the value of the players. Maximization, whether it is the use of the player’s portrait rights, or the player’s advertising endorsement, or the packaging of the player’s own image, etc., has achieved comprehensive professionalism. Of course, under his command, he will also plan a perfect development path for the players. He knows how to balance the player’s future development potential, the remaining development space, and the player’s own positioning at each stage. He can always put the players in the position. The most suitable position will not waste the player’s own ability, nor will he squander every penny of the club. It is the good reputation that Mendes has accumulated in the game for many years, which has made him the top spot in the ranks of brokers. Of course, its business is developing better and better.

As a top broker, Mendes is naturally earning a lot of money in his transfer career. In the process of Cristiano Ronaldo’s transfer to Juventus, Real Madrid received a transfer fee of 100 million pounds. The income of Dess is £10.6 million. In 2015, Di Maria moved from Real Madrid to Manchester United for 59.7 million pounds, which created the highest record of the Red Devils history, although the performance in the Dream Theater was not good, but the next buyer of Angels It is the same big and big Paris. The French giants have also sold out £44 million in order to get him. The accumulated transfer fee of Di Maria has soared to 103 million pounds. Thanks to his agent Mendes for his long sleeves. Di Maria has recently added two transfer fees. If 10% is drawn, Mendes can get at least 10 million pounds. Like in the summer of 2014, Mendes operated J Ronaldin 80 million euros to join Real Madrid, the same commission of 8 million euros, although J Ronaldo played poorly in Real Madrid, but then joined Bayern and let him return to the state; Manchester City in order to get Bay Naldi Silva and Edson paid 50 million Euros and 40 million Euros respectively, even if they were based on 5% of the commissions, they were the two transfers, and Johan Mendes could earn 4.5 million euros. These are just partial transfers. If you count other players in his group, his income is unimaginable.

Bloodthirsty madman Raiola

Raiola’s subsidiaries include Bogba, Ibrahimovic, Lukaku, Donnaruma, Hamsik, Mkhitaryan and so on. In the circle of brokers, Raiola is the same person as Mendes, but Raiola is a broker with his own personality. From the outside, he sees money as a life, poison tongue, no In the group, many people don’t like this fat man. Unlike many brokers, Raiola has no friends in the agent circle, nor does he try to establish a close relationship with the club president and manager. He himself has said that he does not like it. Live in a hotel where brokers gather. Raiola has always been known for his straightforwardness and even his mouth. Many famous people in his mouth have not been spared. He has criticized that Guardiola’s coaching style is drowsy. He also accused Inter. Chairman Tohir did not want to do a good job for Italian football. Similarly, Raiola used a “poison tongue” mode for his players. Ibrahimovic once said that he first saw Raiola, when he pulled Iola took Vieira, Trezeguet, Inzaghi’s goal data and yelled at him: “You Ibrahimovic scored 5 goals in 25 games. With these data, where can you transfer TMD? I don’t know how to enjoy the big climate”! Raiola has his own team for the transfer. He always comes alone, and even someone is just a lawyer to help him negotiate the contract. But don’t look at Raiola’s embarrassment for his players. Whenever he is interviewed by the outside world, he will make every effort to protect his clients, just like a father, no matter how to criticize his own children, Will always stand with the players, the purpose is to be good for his clients.

Raiola can handle so many key transfers, and his abilities have no need to prove. His language ability is extremely amazing. He speaks Dutch, English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian. This language ability is enough to support him in Europe. In addition, Laiola’s vision is also Extremely accurate, former Juventus general manager Moggi once commented on him: “I think Raiola is a wizard in the discriminating of players. If he is to be a club manager, he will definitely be a team. Invincible. Indeed, his current best-known two clients, Ibrahimovic and Bogba, were successfully discovered by him when they were not famous. In 1996, the transfer of Nedved from Sparta Prague to Lazio was the first big transfer of La Iola, and the Czech Iron Man also began his brilliant Serie A trip.

In so many years of brokerage, Raiola did not earn less than Mendes. How crazy is Raiola’s bloodthirsty madman? “Football Secret” said: The previous year Bogba from Juventus to Manchester United, Juventus gave Laiola a commission of 27 million euros, Raiola finished the seller to eat the buyer, not only Manchester United to give money, even Bogba to give This broker has a 3 million benefit fee. This transfer, Raiola’s personal total income reached 49 million. According to Forbes statistics, in 2014, Raiola’s personal profit was 35 million euros. This is only the official data of the company. It is estimated that it is not included in the hidden rebates in the Bogba deal. But 35 million a year is already a big football star like Messi C Ronaldo. In addition, Ibrahimovic was freely transferred from Paris Saint-Germain to Manchester United with a commission of 2.5 million pounds; Mchitaliang was transferred from Dortmund to Manchester United with a commission of £6.7 million. Small World of Warcraft Lukaku 75 million transfer Manchester United, Raiola can get at least 14 million pounds.

Low-key Mr. Zahawi

Compared to Mendes and Raiola, the Israeli Zahavi is a low-key, 74-year-old Zahavi has been running a football business for 30 years. In 1979, the reporter’s Zahavi operated the first transfer of life, and the Israeli defender Avi Cohen operated from Tel Aviv Maccabi to Liverpool for 300,000 euros. The deal made Zahawi epiphany: “The original sports can make people make money!”

What really made Zahave famous was the transfer of England defender Rio Ferdinand. In 2000, he was transferred from West Ham to Leeds United for 29.7 million euros. Two years later, Ferdinand broke the guard transfer fee record again. Join Manchester United for 47 million euros. Zahavi is more often acting as a middleman and negotiator, and his most famous handwriting is to manipulate the highest Neymar in history to move to Paris, last summer, in the official brokers of Zahavi and Neymar. Together, Bello promoted the transfer of Neymar’s 222 million euros to Paris. According to Spanish media, Zahavi can get a commission of 38 million euros. In this transaction, Zahawi is a private lobbyist for the Neymar family. This is not the first time Zahavi has traded with Barcelona. He helped Barcelona sign Ronaldinho in 2003, Ibrahimovic was signed in 2009, and Harvey’s participation in the Qatar League from Barcelona was also six years later. Zahavi is related.

Zahavi is not only involved in the heavy trading of players, he can even change the fate of a club. In 2003, Zahavi persuaded the Russian rich Abramovich to invest in the Chelsea club of the Premier League, which opened the curtain of football football. Of course, Zahavi is not without selfishness. Since then, Abu has been a luxury signing for Chelsea, such as the signing of Cech, Drogba and Essien.

As the world’s first sport, football has spawned many profitable industries, but it is hard to imagine that as a broker who eats by mouth, you can get such amazing reports!
