Many agents in football earn high commissions every year, of course, the most famous of which are super agents such as Raiola, Mendes, Zahavi and so on. These big-name agents have huge resources on their hands, and they always ask for high commissions when they run player transfers, which makes many big teams miserable, but there is no way. However, now that FIFA is ready to introduce regulations restricting brokers from charging commissions, I just don't know what these super brokers are going to do?
Recently, Marca reported that FIFA is preparing to implement new rules in July next year, which are used to limit brokers from charging high commissions. FIFA wants to ensure that player transfer commissions do not exceed 6%, of course FIFA will set two options. First, the agent can charge a 3% commission on the player's salary, paid by the player, while charging a 3% commission for the buyer. The second option is to charge the seller a 10% commission, and only one of the two options can be selected. At the same time, FIFA will stipulate that if a player transfers within two years after the completion of the transfer, the agent will not be allowed to charge commissions.
This is FIFA's new rules, and since FIFA did not have any regulations restricting brokers, the broker line was a bit confusing. Most brokers charge a commission of 5%-10%, and even Mendes charges a commission in this range. So, this rule won't affect them too much. The real impact is Raiola, Laiola generally receives a commission of 10%, and when he first operated Pogba transfer, he received a commission of 48 million euros, while Pogba's transfer fee was only 105 million euros, Laiola's commission was close to 50%, of course, there are some other players who transfer, Laiola also collected a lot of commissions.
It has to be said that once FIFA's new regulations are released, the impact on Laiola will be huge, which will directly affect Laiola's income. I just don't know what Raiola is going to do? Previously, many media reported that Laiola hopes to operate a Haaland transfer in the summer, and in this case, Laiola may have to speed up the pace of Haaland's transfer, if the Haaland transfer is operated after July next year, then Laiola has no reason to ask for more than 40 million pounds of commission!
