"FIFA's Intermediaries in International Transfers 2020 report, a comprehensive look at the involvement of intermediaries in international transfers completed in FIFA's International Transfer Matching System (ITMS) during 2020, is now available," announced the International Federation on 01/12/2020.

"Overall, the involvement of intermediaries in international transfers in 2020 remained at the same level as in 2019, with 3,346 (20.4%) international transfers having an agent representing at least one of the clubs involved in the transfer or the player," said FIFA.

"Commissions paid for the services of club intermediaries remained at the considerable level of $496.2m (€410.7m), which represents a little less than 10% of the total transfer fees paid in 2020. Clubs from England, Spain, Italy, Germany, France and Portugal covered 79.9% of that worldwide sum," added the body.
