#40 : Agent in Record Breaking Transfer ...

The Agents Angle
About this episode

What can be expected from fast-approaching 'transfer windows' and will the football transfer market see records broken yet again? As well as looking at the trends envisaged by some, 'The Agents Angle' is joined by Chris Atkins of TMJ, the agent of Bay FC's record signing in the NWSL, Racheal Kundananji. We learn from Chris's insights on that deal, as well as the changes and challenges posed in the world of women's football agency. There is also a look at reports from inside the FIFA Agent Working Group; with licensing & exam pass rates, agent investigations PLUS reports of FIFA seeking 'friends' amongst the agents with some agent groups reportedly offered MOUs by FIFA.
