This summer's football transfer window was the most expensive of all time.

FIFA announced that clubs worldwide spent 7.36 billion euros on transfers.

How much did agents who play a significant role in transfers receive? According to FIFA's website, agents earned 650 million euros from transfers this summer.

650 million euros is slightly more than 11 percent (11.32%) of the total amount spent on transfers this summer. Of course, conditions vary, with some agents negotiating for higher amounts and percentages, but the ratio still seems impressive.

Currently, the most influential football agents in the world are Jorge Mendes, Pini Zahavi, Jonathan Barnett, and agents working in the Raiola group.
