Are agents allowed to charge commissions?

Agents are indeed allowed to charge commissions, but their ability to do so is regulated under FIFA's guidelines. FIFA has established limits on the amount agents can charge to ensure fairness and transparency in the transaction process between clubs and players. This regulation exists to prevent exploitation and to create a balanced football economy, where young talents are not unduly burdened by exorbitant fees.

Moreover, adherence to these regulated limits promotes a healthy working relationship among players, clubs, and agents, facilitating smoother negotiations and fostering trust among all parties involved. This approach also helps to maintain the integrity of the sport, ensuring that financial transactions do not overshadow the primary focus of footballing talent and performance, which is essential for the growth of the game.
