LISTEN to It's All Kicking Off!: The staggering amount agents are paid

3 weeks ago

As well as being the world's most popular sport, football has become one of the biggest businesses in the world.

Many top footballers are paid astronomical wages, but it is not only players who are raking it in. Transfer season can be a very lucrative time to be an agent.

Football super agent Jon Smith joined Ian Ladyman and Chris Sutton on the latest episode of It's All Kicking Off! this week.

They discussed all things from Todd Boehly to Diego Maradona before Smith was asked by Chris: 'What's the most amount of money you have known for an agent to be paid for one deal?'

Jon replied with a tale about how the agent of a Premier League player had made a huge amount for just 90 minutes of work from a straightforward contract extension.
