The father of AC Milan target Arda Guler is asking for a huge commission when his son joins a new club which changes the face of the transfer completely, a report claims.
As was reported by Relevo on Twitch (via Milan News), the father of Guler currently functions as the attacking midfielder’s agent and that is why he is in a position to ask for a commission.
Despite his son/client being just 18 years old, he is asking for a commission of €18-20 million. Given the release clause in Guler’s contract with Fenerbahce is €17.5 million, the father is effectively doubling the amount of money the buying club will need to shell out.
This could knock Milan out of the running, even though the Rossoneri are reportedly ready to bid slightly higher than the release clause to fend off the interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona.
The father also wants confirmation that his son will have a key role at the club.
😀
This mercato is funnier and funnier 😀
Maybe the father knows he needs to cash in now as his son is all hype😂
I doubt his father will get it from Milan as Milan is going to pay huge commision to Luka Romero’s agent. Both of them are young RW but Romero is free and has EU passport.
The last time we snatched “the hottest young player on the planet” who everyone wanted was Pato and I think we have about as much chance of that happening again as Pioli growing dreadlocks.
Now, would it make any sense we give his father such commission when we would be completing the fee asked by the club? It just doesn’t make sense…. Football is ruined already. No restrictions!! Nothing! Agents ask for commissions unjustly. Football is dead. This guy’s career is dead even before it started…. Obviously gonna be ruined by his father! Find it hard to hate football despite all these sh*t…. Perhaps, I will if AC MILAN doesn’t exist anymore.There’s no passion for the game anymore! It’s abysmal!
Agents should be paid a portion of the player’s salary and not included as any part of transfer negotiations. FIFA needs to outlaw this. This is absurd and allows 3rd parties to control players.
Absolutely they do, I can’t believe this isn’t already the case
Accept it, players with potential and skills have a going rate with a price to pay to acquire or retain them. Milan management think we are absolved from making investments and operating at the costs needed to compete.
40 million is the bottom of the barrel price for players who are yet to be established in top competitions but have some experience as professionals. Unless they want to recruit in Cambodia or the Algerian peague, they have to put up or shut up.
your comment is ignorant at best. Financial sustainability is more important than paying the father of an 18 year old because he scored a nice goal for Turkey – get real. We just sold Tonali for 80M (probably not worth that much) and now we should shell out half of that on an unproven kid because his dad wants to be rich!?
I agree with JayDub – this needs to be regulated. Mino Raiola started and refined this approach – its all about skinning the Clubs and controling the players!
His father renegotiates a deal for a higher salary and release fee, then you are back to square one just that if he performs well again, you are looking at the operation costing even more further down the line because he will want a fee then too. Kid will ask for a higher salary and might bot want to come here, he will have more suitors.
Cough up the cash or beat it. Other agents would do the same.
That’s the price, take it or leave it. His father raised him and cared for him his entire life. He will get his share. Better him than a stranger.
This isn’t an isolated incident. This is the business. Regulate agent fees, fine, players will just get even higher salaries because their agents negotiate for them….
People like you probably thought paying 70m for Cucurella and 90m for Mudyrk was a good deal
yOuNg tAlEnT
go play FIFA if you like seeing big transfers so much
Go scout players in Africa and in Panama if you don’t like it, Ecuador, like Udinese does and hope you don’t get relegated . Top level players cost money whether we like it or not. He showed potential, his agents will ask for a price accordingly. Don’t like it, look elsewhere.
You didnt deny it so you actually think Mudyrk is worth 90m
You are insane lmao, are you Yonghong Li’s advisor? Set Milan back fking 5 years because of his stupidity
You don’t think Tonali is worth 80m? Look how hard it is to replace him with even 50m (the actual amount we’re getting from the sale). We’re more likely to get two players of lesser quality than replacing him outright and have money left over.
ACM get full 70m euro cash + bonus 10m euro. ACM give 2 primavera player to erase brescia resale clause for tonali. ACM give olzer & one player ( i forgot his name ) to brescia as a deal to erase brescia resale clause
dont talk crap if you dont know anything
Brescia arent getting money, people have corrected you multiple times already

you dumb f , algeria has the most talented players in the world mahrez bennacer Ramy Bensebaini , Rayan Ait Nouri Houssem Aouar …… anyone of those could easley play for ac milan i bet you don’t have players with mahrez quality in your country ,
and there is lot of players with algerian parent like Kylian Mbappe Benzema zidane …… so your just ignorant about football and you just hating
Obviously Alergerian players are incredibly talented. The comment is not a slight on Algerian players, it is more having to do with the infrastructure football system in the domestic Algerian football league. Go educate yourself before assuming I am hating on the players of Algerian descent. Most of those players you mentioned, go see where they played before calling me dumb, almost were all in France. The point is, you won’t hardly find them playing in the domestic competitions in Algeria unless you scout them at 14, 15, by the time they are 16, 17, 18, the best players wil have been notciced then developped inside organizations with better development opportunities. Teams would have offered their parents, if they aren’t European citizens, the chance to get their kid into their academies so they can gain European passports by the time they are old enough to register at a club. That is the point I am making, go hope and pray you can find someone no one noticed playing in a school yard. Most talented players left Algeria long before a team like Milan will know thye exist. Most Algerian players you mentioned are also France nationals. To my point, you want to pay next to nothing for players, go watch desolate leagues, with shitty infrastructure and no development opportunities and hope you can snatch a 17 years old for 400k then hope he c3na blossom, do that 50 times a year then hope one pans out into a professional player.
Obviously Alergerian players are incredibly talented. The comment is not a slight on them, it is more having to do with the infrastructure football system in the domestic Algerian football league. If it was so great, all the players you mentioned would not have been in France, they’d be in Algeria suring their formative years.

Most Algerian players you mentioned are also France nationals due to their parents. To my point, you want to pay next to nothing for players, go watch desolate leagues, with terrible infrastructure, no development opportunities and hope you can uncover a 17 years old for 400k then hope he c3na blossom, do that 50 times a year then hope one pans out into a professional player.
don’t talk like african talent youngsters get the same opportunity as other from european country
i get the fact that algeria infrastructure like some of the european league but you could easley find talented players under 17 that could develop into world class players and they won’t cost us 100 k there is striker play in algerian under 16 i don’t remember his name he could easley become one the best in the world if we get him because he is so fast and has eyes for goals he scared 4 goals last time i watched him ,
Olympique Lyonnais and OM and Nice most of their youngsters are from algeria if we are smart club we should lunch youth academy in algeria ghana morocco we could easley get 16 talented players every year the one that couldn’t make it we could sell them for profit and that can cover the investment we made in lunching academy in two three years at most and we get the best talent in the primavera
I never said there isn’t talent in Algeria, or Africa, for every 400 youth players in a club one plays a single game for the team. Players under 17, or over for one are not playing against the same level of competition in those leagues. Assessing them properly and projecting their development, meaning how well they grow as players is incredibly difficult when the standard of play is low. African players don’t get the same opportunities that is for sure. Players from Algeria, all those mentioned are non-EU, unless like all the players you mentioned except for one, have parents living in France prior to their birth, they are born as EU citizens. If not, you loose spots for them. The specific limitations of non EU in youth ranks are peculiar. I know you cannot transfer non-eu players until they are 18 into academies. To have them only come to the club at that age after developping them for 10 years is very risky and not worth the operating costs. Then from 18 going forward, you have to wait a few years for them to become citizens. That makes your proposed idea less viable for a club. I am sure Milan has academies worldwide, the specific countries I cant recall.
*Players from Algeria, are non-EU, unless like all the players you mentioned, their parents were in Europe prior to their birth.* Only one of those played his youth football in Algeria. If we took all the Alegerian descent players and made a national team, I am quite sure they could compete and beat many European nations.
With the Loftus Cheek potential purchase and with Kamada coming I didn’t think we could register another non-EU player which Guler would be, unless we get rid of Devin Vazquez which I don’t know if we have done so…..
They will definitely offload Vasquez. Makes zero sense to keep him.
But did they offer to sell him to Barcelona or Madrid in two or three seasons for big money? That sounds quite lucrative papa Güler right?
Forget the transfer, just walk away. He’ll probably end up being a good player but it’s less of a guarantee than say a Haaland.
Plus, even if he’s a nice kid, I hope his career crashes and burns as his dad prices him out of a move. Parents getting greedy when their son has accomplished nothing yet… not like he’s bloody Mbappe.
@Kayson, I wonder!
Richer club will pick him up and make the gamble. Then put a massive release clause.
Yeah sooner or later some club will sign him
That’s crazy.
Better do something to get fans back to buying tickets because selling one the most promising midfielders in Italy and not returning something as equally as exciting you might as well kiss this season good bye with only two midfielders to get you to December until Bennacer comes back and god only knows how long it will take him to be game ready for a full 90.
It’s people like this that ruin football. Absolutely greedy. This is why clubs should all come to agreement to not give him a dime more than his release clause
There is one HUGE flaw here witth the article, fifa implemented new rules that to my knowledge has been set into motion and that is stipulating that agents isnt allowed to attain more than 10% commision from the whole fee of a sale. In this case it would mean that the agent cant get demand more than 1.75 mil as the release clause is 17.5 mil.
It should probably say signing bonus instead of commission. The 10% commission is on top of the signing bonus he will be getting
maybe i used the wrong wording but if that is the case it would seem to me that its an attempt to circumvent the max allowed by fifa if they demand an 18-20 mil on top of that.
Either way id move on if thats the case even if this kid is a talent then they can pretty much sod off in my book,
There needs to be a cap definitely if there isn’t one already. These commission requests are getting Out Of hand. I don’t know if it would even apply here since its the father asking for a commission and not agent.
Absolutely as its destroying the sport in my view but i think it was already implemented last season or from the start of this one but i might be wrong and its first affective from 2025 but pretty sure its already a thing in the ruleset.
The father of arda guler is his agent thats why i im saying its an attemtt to circumvent the ruleset if this is actually true story,
2024 😀
Probably signing fee bonus when signed the contract . Anyway if this news are true , better skip guler . It is hefty total cost 17,5m euro + signing fee 20m euro ( total 37,5m euro ) . Gambling 37,5m euro for 18 years kid ? Not only that ,he asking key role / starting player . Maybe he can become good player in future but still i dont think management are willing to gamble big money 37,5m euro for 18 years kid . Better skip this kid
Yeah i agree with that sort of money id much rather try to get sms as he at least offers guarantees and not just promise.
Even 10% is huge commision. It should be 1-3%. Not more. What is agent role? Nothing! When player agree with club offer, he can hire lawyer to check contract, and player can keep that 10% in his pocket. Agents are vultures, nothing else. But, players are not educated, and it is very easy to manipulate with them.
Ill support any actions that limits the powers of the agents so i cant really say i disagree, the less they get the better for the sport. Players are greedy as well in my book and in an ideal world their wages would be limited as well as its the clubs who has to invest large sums to buy them to begin with.
The club are very quickly realising that only getting 45-50m from the Tonali deal might not be such a good deal after all…
Its 70m not 50m learn to read before complaining
Depends on your currency 😛
And assuming we’re talking Euros, it seems we’re paying Brescia some sort of sell on clause ~15%) and it’s “70 including bonuses” so only €70m if those clauses are met.
Then remember that every transfer we make we’ll incur some agent fees on top of whatever transfer fee and realistically that gives us spending potential of
No we are not paying Brescia anything, learn to google stuff about Brescia’s deal and stop spreading misinformation everywhere
do you like being wrong so much?
The klasik snake agent.. They really should have done something about these commisions a decade ago.
Let the player pay the agent i say
I hope it’s not too late to cancel the Tonali-deal with Newcastle… We cannot buy ANYONE so we’d be better off with Tonali and existing squad. 😀
We already buy lord RLC . Here we go on fabrizio romano . Also di marzio : we are closing luka romero & pulisic for RW. Not the player i like three of them , but maybe they are good for pioli tactic
So this child is now worth 36m? Ok. Tonali if we sold which we never should have should have been 100+ then.
The Greedy Turkish balls on this guy… no Thank You. We can get SMS for less. This is the problem with football these days – agents killing potential deals due to hefty commission requests…
How can a team ‘bid’ higher than a release clause? As soon as anyone pays the release clause then it’s over. There is no bidding.
This site’s articles just get even more embarrassing.
It’s an auction. You take the highest offer. Simple. They basically can’t refuse to release him after you meet the clause. Check your facts. The article is fine.
The release clause is for the club, as they can’t refuse an offer as it meets the clause. But, the final words come from the player himself, this is the time the auction takes place.
Its time for Fifa/Uefa to put stop to this circus with commisions, inflated sallaries and so on. This whole thing started with the Arabs just trowing their state money in football, which is foolish when you see how many people in the middle east are suffering and those money could have been actually used for something good… Anyway if Fifa/Uefa can’t do anything then they better just disband themself since they compleatly lost controll over football.
Bruh always the Turkish fathers, spend that 17 mil in making cdk better. And loftus skip that guy
Hilarious – if this is true.
Forget this kid – No-one in their right mind is going pander to his daddy’s Xmas wish-list! – No, not even Chelsea.
The muppet is scared stiff he’s going to go for peanuts without a nice fat pay-day for yours truly…
Next…
Forget the commission. His dad wants him to be guaranteed a starting role. Kid has played 15-20 games in Turkey. He may have potential but he has a few years ahead of him before he can request those sort of conditions from a champions league club.
Go to Toulouse
Zaniolo in Turkey, 5 goals in 10 games.
Zaniolo in Italy, 2 goals in full season lol.
That’s the difference in playing in lower leagues. Just a bit of talent looks great.
Don’t forget about Icandi LOL
If this is true milan should move on from him.
Who’s to say his father won’t make any problem later on when milan want to renew his contract?
A father prostituting from his son. What a POS, but now no one will touch him. He’s out of his mind if he think anyone is paying that for an onproven player from a mediocre league.
He tests the water. And maybe he isn’t in a hurry to sell his son
Okay, hear me out..
Lets say we fill out the non EU slots with RLC and Kamada, but what if we let Monza sign Guler since he is non EU player then we can “loan” him with obligation or option to buy. That way we go around the regulations lol
Having parents as manager is a great problem. It’s confusing and irritating. Goccuf did not succeed seedorf ,where is LAZZETIC TODAY? ASIDE PATO, others were not given chance. It’s doubtful that GULER will get shirt in Milan 11.
