| Updated: November 20, 2025Power and influence in modern football are no longer measured solely by silverware or shirt sales, but by the agencies shaping the careers, and the destinies of the game’s biggest stars. Sportingpedia’s latest analysis lifts the lid on football’s leading agencies, ranking them by both the combined market value of their clients and the sheer scale of their talent pools, measured by the number of players they represent. The results reveal a landscape where US and UK agencies dominate the global market. One of the most captivating findings is that Wasserman comes on top in both of our rankings with a client list of 1,238, valued at an astonishing €2.23 billion. In total, five agencies represent more than 500 footballers each, but only two of those have clients worth over €2 billion – Wasserman and CAA Stellar.

Topping the table by total client value is US-based Wasserman, whose extraordinary €2.23 billion portfolio is anchored by Real Madrid’s Federico Valverde – currently their most valuable client with a market estimate of €130 million. Hot on their heels is CAA Stellar, headquartered in the UK, who manage players worth a combined €2.01 billion, led by Omar Marmoush of Manchester City, valued at €75 million.
Portugal’s Gestifute, founded by Jorge Mendes, comes third in total value. While its overall portfolio is smaller, €1.62 billion, Gestifute boasts the world’s highest-valued footballer, Lamine Yamal of Barcelona, who alone is valued at €200 million. CAA Base, also UK-based, controls a pool of players worth €1.36 billion, with Chelsea’s Cole Palmer their top star at €120 million.
Unique Sports Group, another UK powerhouse, manages €1.21 billion in talent, with Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon leading their roster at €65 million. Germany’s ROOF stands out with €1.07 billion in client value and Arsenal’s Kai Havertz as their most-prized asset at €60 million. Bertolucci Sports of Brazil maintains a €855 million talent pool, topped by Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, who holds a market estimate of €80 million.
AS1, yet another prominent UK agency, commands a client list valued at €782.7 million, with Chelsea’s Moises Caicedo the headline name at €100 million. Roc Nation Sports, now headquartered in the UK, boasts Vinicius Junior of Real Madrid – currently valued at €150 million – as their star client. Completing the top ten, HCM Sports Management from the UAE is led by Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyokeres, who is currently worth €75 million.

When measured by the number of footballers under their wing, Wasserman again leads by a distance, representing a staggering 1,238 players – 439 of whom compete in Europe’s top divisions. CAA Stellar, with 896 clients including 317 first-tier players, sits second. The reach of UK-based agencies remains immense, as CAA Base (658 players) and Unique Sports Group (654) round out the top four.
Beyond the UK, Spain’s YOU FIRST manages 425 clients, including Paris Saint-Germain’s Fabian Ruiz as their highest-valued star (€40 million). Dutch powerhouse SEG (Sports Entertainment Group) manages 406 players, with Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo topping their valuation charts at €70 million. Other notable names include Sweden’s Nordic Sky, with Martin Odegaard of Arsenal valued at €80 million, and ProStar, a UK-based agency with 526 clients, whose top asset is Georgiy Sudakov of Shakhtar Donetsk at €32 million.
AS1 (UK) has 285 players, headlined by Moises Caicedo, while US-based Vibra Futbol manages 197 players, with Felipe Loyola of Independiente as their top-valued client at €9 million.
Average client value varies dramatically: agencies like Bertolucci Sports and Gestifute focus on quality, boasting player averages above €10 million, while larger groups like ProStar and YOU FIRST achieve their size through extensive, but less valuable, rosters.
The elite agencies have a pronounced impact on the transfer market – not just through volume, but by representing the very players who headline the sport’s biggest deals and narratives.
