How has the market changed? Answers Antonio Caliendothe first agent of our football, interviewed by Sports Courier: “Now there are intermediaries who deal with presidents, and big American and English groups, and the younger ones, the forty-fifty year olds, get together, they don’t go to war and they divide the loot. The relationship between agent and client has also changed, the intermediary takes care of the deal, not the player. He lives day by day, for me a contract means a long-term investment. I spoke to my parents once or twice a day, I took care of everything. Today there is a lot of superficiality, look at how Osimhen is managed.
He’s a player worth 200 million and now he’s forced to stay on the sidelines waiting for I don’t know what. I know Calenda, he made Maicon skip out at Real. In Brazil they don’t let him in anymore. Osimhen makes me feel tender, he’s a fantastic striker, he has extraordinary power and speed. Why do I say he makes me feel tender? I’m referring to his current situation”.
