Agent silent on brother’s role in Kewell transfer

AGENT Nikola Mandic yesterday declined to comment on his brother Bernie’s involvement in Harry Kewell’s contentious transfer to Liverpool last week.

Following complaints from licensed agents in Australia, FIFA , football’s world governing body, are looking at documentation supplied to them by the FA in relation to the £5 million move.

FIFA will then decide whether to launch a probe into the role played by Bernie Mandic as he is not licensed with them to serve as a player’s representative, as well as the 40% cut of the transfer fee worth £2 million which went to his company, Max Sport, as part of the deal.
