I asked an agent about the pogba deal, he reckoned most of that money will be kicked back to pogbas family through tax loopholes, and no player would accpt and agent making that much off the deal. Maskes sence pogbas family probably arent set up for tax avoidance.
Thanks for that.
A more transparent structure is the player gets paid all that’s due to him by the buying club though his salary and signing bonuses. Unless they like these arrangements because they can offshore funds through them. Again, murky.
I think football needs reform. We need to help clubs manage finances better and reducing superfluous spend on agents has to be one fast avenue for doing that without compromising players’ quality of life
The whole thing is marky slme of the shit Sam alerdice got up to is worse than any agent.
There are tons of dodgy people in thd sport in every area. FIFA downwards. The whole things needs to be increasingly regulated, my initial point was some agents are great guys. I've had agents do me massive favours several times with nothing in return.
