NO.5 – Alessandro Lucci – Last year's commission income of $28.5 million
Alessandro Lucci is Italy's pivotal football agent, he has in-depth cooperation with Juve, Milan, Inter, Roma and many other big clubs, including Bonucci, Joaquín, Suso, Florenzi, Cuadrado, Kostic, Kulusevski, Becino and others.
This is a very "cunning" and very "considerate" agent, some media have exposed his suspected fraud to the club to form a higher transfer fee, help players and the club secretly receive salaries and other violations, but he is more respectful and considerate of his players.
NO.4 – Volker Strutt – Last year's commission income of $43.7 million
Strut is deeply engaged in the Bundesliga and can be called Germany's first football agent, with a large number of German stars such as Reus, Goetze, Kroos, Hevedes, Jurer, and of course, there are many foreign stars such as Upamecano.
Strut is hugely influential and has a very strong personality in German football, because his star Götze was not reused after moving to Bayern, he openly clashed with Pep Guardiola, angrily accusing him of "ruining Gotze". It takes a certain amount of courage to criticize the Bayern manager in German football.
NO.3 – Mino Raiola (La Fat) – Last year's commission income of $70.3 million
Raiola, from an ordinary teenager step by step to become a top three football agents, the top five sports agents in the world, has Haaland, Ibrahimovic, Bergkamp, Nedved, De Licht, Donnarumma, Pogba, Verratti, Balotelli and other stars. He fought for the maximum financial benefit of the players, not hesitating to become the club's "enemy", known as the player's angel, the club's most headache opponent. However, when many stars have thrown themselves into Mendes' flag out of trust, even the big clubs can only grit their teeth and do business with this "enemy".
Born in Italy and raised in the Netherlands, Raiola became a millionaire at the age of 19 by reselling property, then dropped off his studies to become a sports agent, and began his 27-year career as a successful agent after running Ajax player Roy into Serie A in 1992. Especially in 2016, he transferred Pogba to Manchester United for 105 million euros, from which he received a huge commission of 25 million. Raiola not only fights for the best interests of the players, but also helps the players deal with the trivialities of life very meticulously, so much so that the first time there is a fire in Balotelli's house is not a fire call, but a call to Raiola.
On the evening of April 28, 2022, the media reported Raiola's death, and on the same day Raiola himself debunked the rumor "I am angry but I am alive!" However, 2 days later, he died of illness at home, and I don't know if it had anything to do with the rage 2 days ago. Although Raiola is gone, his famous phrase "You run as fast as you can, I am responsible for making you the best star in the world" is still the language that countless players want to hear.
NO.2 – Jorge Mendes – Commission income of $118 million last year
Mendes, the best football agent selected by the official website from 2001 to 2020, his stars include Cristiano Ronaldo, De Gea, Rodriguez, Falcao, Di Maria, Diego Costa, Nani, Ronaldo, Mangala, Coentron, Pepe, Marcelo, etc., but the ultimate trump card he wants is not these players, but the "magic bird" Mourinho, no matter where the coach goes, Mendes can do business with this team.
Mendes rose to fame in 2004, taking advantage of Porto's Champions League victory, he sent Mourinho and a number of players to Chelsea, greatly improving Chelsea's strength and allowing Porto to receive the largest sum of money in the club's history. In 2009, he sent Ronaldo to Real Madrid at an all-time high, causing a sensation in the entire world football.
Mendes began to contract advertising rights to the exterior walls of the stadium and open a football video rental shop as a player, and his business acumen was far superior to his skills. His style is to do his best to satisfy all parties, he operated Ronaldo left Manchester United with a transfer fee of 96 million euros when he left Manchester United, and Manchester United fans still remember Ronaldo well after leaving, although the player's own income has decreased, but the reputation and relationship with the club are relatively good. And Ibrahimovic, Donnarumma, etc., the original team and fans have a lot of opinions about it, but the players do get the biggest economic benefits, which is better, is the opinion of the wise.
NO.1 – Jonathan Barnett – Last year's commission income of $128 million
Jonathan Barnett, Britain's top football agent, his agency won 1.166 billion euros worth of contracts for players last year, and he himself recorded a commission of $128 million, becoming the agent with the highest commission income that year, including Bale, Saul, Ashley Cole, Luke Shaw, Mensah, Joe Hart, Lalana and so on.
Barnett is a "cunning" and difficult negotiator, and because of his sharp words and resolute attitude, he is regarded by major clubs as the most difficult opponent to negotiate. His way of doing things is somewhat close to Raiola's, and he is more willing to fight for the interests of his players, and many club supporters are not very fond of Barnett as a result, just as many fans hated fat back then.
Lafat has passed away, and because of his resemblance to Raiola's style, many of Lafat's players are considering joining Barnett because an agent like him can earn more money for players. I believe that in the future, Barnett's business empire will be even larger, and more and more stars will be invested in his wing.
