For a few weeks now, the transfer topic that has been exciting fans has been linked to Joshua Zirkzee and AC Milan. The club is ready to spend the amount equivalent to the release clause of 40 million and there would also be an agreement with the player. The obstacle, insurmountable so far, is the monstrous commission requested by the Dutchman’s agent, Kia Joorabchian, for mediation. A figure deemed inappropriate by the company. But what is the situation today regarding players’ powers of attorney? Is there any regulation? And what is planned for the future? We talked about it with Beppe Galli, president of Assoagenti (AIACS). Exclusively for MilanNews.it.
A truly particular situation. On paper it is the player who decides
“I’m speaking as an agent: if I’m lucky enough to bring a player to a club for a certain amount of money and then I block everything for a selfish matter of mine, do you know what my client replies to me? Beppe, I don’t work with you anymore. We’re done” .
The agent is often portrayed as the big bad wolf of the football world
“Look, there are one in 10,000 pharaonic commissions and it’s right that we talk about them because they make noise. Everyone talks about money, but the reality of things is that many agents even struggle to get what they are entitled to. Then they agent is portrayed in this way, I invite people to ask themselves two questions: why does a player allow similar commission requests to prevent the success of a negotiation?
