Description

The football agent world remains largely confused on the current state of agent regulations. Yet one country that does offer some stability is France, but with that stability also comes strict laws and regulations for all agents operating in the French football market.


'The Agents Angle' is joined by Jean-Baptiste Ginies to highlight many aspects of French law and football agent regulations that agents should be aware of.


Also, following the release of the annual agent declarations by The FA (England), it is reported that one English Premier League club paid £75m in agents/intermediary fees in just one year. Yet, is it all that it seems with these reports; or do such reports subsequently raise more questions than answers?
