Uefa considers putting cap on agents’ fees

Uefa is considering a cap on agents’ fees following a meeting of its Professional Football Strategy Group.

The PSFG, which consists of the main stakeholders in European football, discussed a range of initiatives at a summit in Nyon, Switzerland yesterday. Agent fees, back in the spotlight following Alexis Sanchez’s move from Arsenal to Manchester United, were high on the agenda while Financial Fair Play, squad size limits, and a “transfer tax” were also examined.

Sanchez’s representative Fernando Felicevich received a reported £15m (€17m) for his part in the Chile international’s transfer to Old Trafford, which was formally announced on Monday.
