Agent Fees

I read today that Gillingham will no longer be paying agent fees. Unfortunately for them I can’t see that ending well?
 
FIFA to introduce new agent regulations and limit their commission from transfers

Next year FIFA are to introduce new regulations that will limit the commission that agents can receive from the transfer of players, the amount they earn will also be made public.

FIFA has said that the move to deregulate agents in 2015 was “a mistake” and that mistake has been one of the main reasons why FIFA are looking to introduce these new regulations which will ensure that commission is capped at 3% of a player's salary when representing a player, 3% of a player's salary when representing the buyer and 6% when the same agent represents both the player and the buyer. An agent representing a selling club can earn a maximum of 10% of the transfer value.

This outrageous plan has not gone down well with the agents

'We’re not little kids': leading agents ready for war with Fifa over new rules


Fifa will not exist in 10 years’ time,” predicted Mino Raiola at the World Football Summit in November. Best known for representing Erling Haaland, Paul Pogba, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Matthijs de Ligt, the 53-year-old was responding in typically bombastic fashion to confirmation a fortnight earlier that football’s governing body was pressing ahead with a raft of controversial new regulations for agents.

Perhaps the most contentious is Fifa’s intention to introduce a cap that would limit agents of the selling club to 10% of the transfer fee, and agents of the buying club to 3% of the fee. The regulations, scheduled to take effect in January 2022 having entered a third and final “consultation process” in November that is continuing, would also force agents to become licensed and undergo an exam conducted by Fifa, and make all transactions
 
No wonder Raiola is desperate to force a move for Haaland this summer, so he can earn a "well deserved" €100m or so. He's currently on a tour to the biggest clubs, visiting Barcelona and Madrid yesterday, and 4 premier league clubs this weekend, to see who he can squeeze the most out of.
He's a despicable clam of the highest grade!
