Approach & Philosophy

The model integrates contract engineering, performance support, and brand/media work to accelerate LATAM players’ adaptation to European and North American markets.

Fees & Transparency

Typical industry commissions (often 5–10% depending on jurisdiction and scope). Dual-representation handled per local regulations with client consent. Image-rights and reimbursable expenses are defined case-by-case in player mandates. (No public fee schedule.)

Compliance & Reputation

• Disciplinary actions / sanctions: No public records found.

• Litigation / disputes: None publicly documented.

• Media sentiment: Neutral; coverage centers on player moves in Chile/Mexico and occasional high-profile transfers to Club América/Boca.

Awards/recognition

No public awards listed.
