Football empires: ranking the most influential player agencies Who are the real masters of the game? As the summer transfer window approaches, the Football Observatory (CIES) has published its annual ranking of the most powerful player agencies in the world. This ranking is based on the total transfer value of the footballers represented by each entity.
For this analysis, CIES focused on the 1,300 players whose market value currently exceeds €10 million. At the top of the list, American giant CAA Stellar / Base confirms its dominance. The result of a strategic merger, the agency now manages the interests of 84 top-level players with a combined value of €2.
56 billion. This colossal figure is up significantly (+14. 5%) compared to last year, widening the gap with its closest rivals.
The podium is completed by Gestifute (€1. 86 billion) and The Team, formerly Wasserman (€1. 27 billion).
