FIFA expects cap on agents' commissions to be implemented in March 2021

FIFA

PA Images | Leading agents including Mino Raiola [right], Jorge Mendes and Jonathan Barnett in January threatened the body with legal action over the agent cap. Raiola even compared FIFA to a "communist dictator who tells people what they have to do at all times".

FIFA's Football Stakeholders Committee last year recommended agents should receive a maximum payment of ten per cent from any transfer fee.

The organisation will soon meet with agent organisations, member associations and professional game stakeholders to discuss the new regulatory framework.

Multiple representation will also be addressed with FIFA describing the practice as "extremely common" and having a "significant negative impact" on the transfer system.
