Admittedly I've only seen a headline in passing. Is that the one where the other few million of the astronomical agent fee has gone somewhere else that should raise suspicions? Surely not though. Not Wolves. Massive in Portugal. All those Champions League players were just following their dreams. It's almost refreshing to finally see one where there's too much money involved.

villa4europe Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Doesn't make sense for wolves to pay a ton in agents fees, fosun might as well just pay him direct as a salary and then keep their FFP low Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/football/wolverhampton-wanderers-fc/2020/09/10/revealed-9m-of-wolves-record-transfer-fee-going-to-agents/ Quote More than £9million of the £35m club-record fee Wolves paid for Porto striker Fabio Silva is going to agents, according to the Portuguese club. In a statement to the Portuguese Securities Market Commission, Porto said they are paying Jorge Mendes’ Gestifute agency £6.4m as part of the transfer. They also stated a further £2.75m will be paid to Soccer Talents Vision (STV) – the agency which represents Silva. Porto, by the statement, stand to receive around £26m.

Something they were narrowly found not guilty of previously when we can all see how much of a farce that is. Plucky Wolves, playing for whom is the dream of kids in Bilston and Lisbon.

ChrisVillan Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 So, notwithstanding the fact that STV is Silva's dad, what are Porto paying Mendes for? The gargantuan challenge of getting a player into Wolves? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Things could start to get juicy at Wolves if Nuno leaves. Mendes might decide he wants to move Traore and Neves and Patricio to another side to get himself £15m in the bank. He won't mess with them while Nuno is at the helm though.

Mendes was helping Wolves before Nuno came along, he has more reason to help the club than his mate. We've only signed one champions league player this window, and I don't think a 31 year old full back from Lyon raises too many eyebrows. The move for the two young players from Porto makes sense for them, they've seen other young players like Jota, Neto, and Neves come along and improve as players, so you can see why it would be viewed as a good career move. That agent fee does seem high, but I know nothing about that stuff. Seems like every one is winning from the deals to me, Wolves improve their squad, Porto get the cash they need to comply with FFP, and the players move forward in their careers.

bobzy Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 It's a club run by a super agent, which is a bit of a shame to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
