European clubs employ the largest number of club agents, which also account for a large proportion (86.6%) of global club agent expenditure.
Total spending on agent services in 2023 was $888.1 million, up from $623.2 million last year. This was stated in the last FIFA report.
The value is a record in history, which is 42.5% more than in 2022.
English clubs were the leaders ($280 million). Italy was in second place, with clubs paying $115.7 million. Germany rounded out the top 3 with $89 million, followed by Saudi Arabia ($86 million).
“The largest number of club agents are employed by European clubs, which also account for a large share (86.6%) of global spending on club agents. The number of international transfers involving agents reached a record level for the year – 3353 agreements. This is 15.4% of all transfers and 8.4% more compared to 2022,” said the report.
It is also the first time in history that professional women’s soccer clubs have spent more than a million dollars on club agents, with the total cost just under $1.4 million.
We remind you that an American won 500 thousand dollars in the Hoosier lottery, but the seller accidentally tore up the lucky ticket.
