In the modern era of
football, player’s representatives, agents played a crucial role in players
transfer and other matters. People often sees them as loyal to themselves
because of the commission and the money they want in a single transfer deal but
may be it is possible that their role wants them to have money and work not
only for the players transfer but also the for betterment of the player and
teach a single young individual player how to live in a new surroundings. Many
of the players end up their money having enjoyed the parties with champagne and
then end up having nothing at the end of their footballing life.
Carreer of
football players on average can have 15 years, so agents helps the footballers
to think about future and how to develop a player into world class.
Most agents
are also former footballer who knows what are the mistakes footballer can make
and how to stop them for doing such things and live in a lifestyle they are
accustomed of.
Even, the latest Paul Pogba transfer negotiation saga from
Juventus to Manchester United is delayed
because of the agent fees commission not agreed between Man United, Juventus
and Mino Raiola. Raiola wants 20 percent of the transfer fee but both the clubs
yet to decide who pays the Raiola commission. Because of this halt, this deal
stalled from one week, otherwise the deal between Pogba and Man United is
already agreed. Agents are important in determining what is the perfect
destination for the player and where the player can excel and show his hidden
talent, so in that case they have the responsibility to actually communicate
the players about their potential destinations and convince them weather to
stay in a club or move from a certain club.
Image development is also an
important part in the work of the agent. Jamie Moralle, the agent of former Manchester United defender, Rio
Ferdinand and Swansea City captain, Ashley Williams, said that they like to develop players like
Ashley Williams has gone from Stockport to Swansea City in the Premier League
and now the Captian of Wales. Agents actually knows the pitfalls of the players
and because of that they have to work for their client’s future.
