A good opportunity to highlight an aspect of Football that we collectively dislike.
Vlahovic's agent is getting €18m as a signing fee.
Fiorentina are replacing Vlahovic with Artur Cabral from Basel for €16m.
So Vlahovic's agent is getting more money for e-mails/promotion/phone calls/e-mails than the transfer fee for the incoming player to replace him!
Absolutely wild.
During times when FSG are getting a lot of heat about finances, it's always worth remembering that agents are one of those "hidden costs" (until we see the accounts each year and analyse after the fact) that eat into our budget - transfer fees, renegotiations of contracts etc - all adds up.
