In practice, an average remuneration of 10% of the gross annual salary has been established.

When the license player contract is concluded, the parties to the contract use a trick in order not to burden the player with the agent’s commission: the club concludes a consultancy contract with the agent and takes over the negotiated commission. Then the “club” can book the consultant’s invoice as an expense in its own accounting and the player does not have to pay the consultant.

However, there are exceptional cases that occur more often in practice: the player verbally or in writing commissions a player’s agent to look for a “club”, which the agent can identify and establish contact with. The player actually concludes the license player contract with the “club”, but uses the services of another consultant. This other consultant is paid by the “association” in that the trick takes effect and a brokerage contract is concluded with the “association”. But what the player usually doesn’t know: he himself has to pay the first agent, because a brokerage contract has been concluded with him, which is not changed to the “club”.
