One of the things that must be factored into any signing made in football is the commissions owed to that player’s agent/entourage.
Radio Rossonera claim to have come into possession of a document outlining the amount that Milan paid to agents for the signings made in the 2022-23 period, relating to the draft budget approved by the last Board of Directors meeting.

Charles De Ketelaere was the marquee signing of the 2022 post-Scudetto summer transfer window, and in addition to the €36.5m operation agreed with Club Brugge, the playmaker’s entourage earned €2.8m from Milan.
In this particular ranking, Divock Origi comes in second with his agents having got €495k from his free transfer from Liverpool. For the second most expensive purchase of the summer – Malick Thiaw from Schalke 04 for €8.8m – the Rossoneri management agreed to pay €400k in commissions.
Junior Messias’ agents earned €125k, while it is a different story regarding Alessandro Florenzi, represented by Alessandro Lucci’s World Soccer Agency who got just over €433k from the full-back joining Milan permanently.
Although it was purchased the previous year, we also include Yacine Adli in this list, as his agents received €300k, while finally Devis Vasquez’s entourage got just over €267k. In total, the figure is €4.82m.
The other major negotiation was the renewal of Rafael Leao until 2028, resolving the fine issue with Lille, and the commission that his representatives got was precisely €1,818,182m.
Although it is in all respects part of the 2023-24 summer mercato, the purchase of Ruben Loftus-Cheek was registered on 29 June 2023, thus becoming part of the 2022-23 budget. His agents got €925k from the operation.
Over a trillion for Leao’s agents? Who proofs these write-ups?
maybe the article has been changed since you posting but the only number i see in regard of leaos agents commission is €1,818,182m – so 1.8 mil euros.
That’s 1,800,000 million! – i.e. 1,800,000,000,000 when you put an “m” after 1,800,000
😀 now i think i get you, so you are bascially saying its 1.8 mil x 1 mil times or what ?
That’s 3 times more than my country’s GDP, lol.
These commissions are actually not bad compared to the insane numbers we hear in headlines.
Wait until we read commision for biggest agen like Raiola, Mendez etc
