In football transfer transactions, it is normal for the broker to take a certain percentage of the commission after the transaction is completed. But there are some super agents who earn sky-high commissions, earning more than players play.
The British media took stock of transfer cases in which 21st century football agents took huge commissions, including Pogba's return to Manchester United, Ronaldo's joining Juve, Bale's joining Real Madrid, Coutinho's transfer to Barca, and Neymar's joining Greater Paris.
In January 2019, American rising star Pulisic moved from Borussia Dortmund to Chelsea for a transfer fee of 64 million euros, and his agent Rob Moore made a fortune with a commission of 11.5 million euros.
In January 2018, Coutinho insisted on "defecting" from Anfield to join Barca for 135 million euros. Kubird's broker, Holabchin, receives a 10% commission, or 13.5 million euros in commission.
In July 2018, before the End of the World Cup in Russia, Juventus officially announced a blockbuster transfer to sign Ronaldo from Real Madrid for 117 million euros. CR7's agent, the super crocodile Jorge Mendes, received a commission of 14 million euros.
In August 2013, the 24-year-old Bale joined Real Madrid from Tottenham for a transfer fee of 101 million euros, and Bale's agent Jonathan Barnett received a commission of 17.5 million euros.
In January 2018, Manchester United and Arsenal reached a swap deal, with Sanchez joining Manchester United and Mkhitaryan joining Arsenal. Sanchez's agent Felicević received a commission of 18 million euros.
In the summer of 2017, Paris Saint-Germain signed Neymar for 222 million euros, a transfer that is still the world football transfer record. The Israeli super broker Pini Zahavi who brokered the deal was paid a handsome commission of 38 million euros.
In fact, Pini Zahavi is not Neymar's agent, Neyshao's agent is his father. But the veteran Pini played a third-party lobbying role, playing a key role in the [Barcelona-Neymar-Paris] tripartite agreement.
The most exaggerated example of transfer commissions in the history of football must belong to Pogba's agent, Rayola. In Pogba's return to Manchester United, Raiola ate all three and ran her mouth full of oil.
In the summer of 2016, Pogba bid farewell to Juve and returned to Manchester United, with a transfer fee of 105 million euros to set a world record at the time. After completing this sky-high transfer, Juve paid 25 million euros in commission to La Fat, Manchester United paid 22 million euros to La Fat, Pogba also gave La Fat 2 million euros from his own signing fee, and Laiola got a total of 49 million euros in commission!
Recently, Raiola was interviewed by the German media "Bild" and took the initiative to mention Haaland's future. La Fat said Haaland's next home will be between Manchester City, Bayern, Real Madrid and Barca. No matter which big team Haaland plays for next summer, it's safe to say that Raiola will be able to make a lot of money again.
