About
AL&IK Football Management is a Ukrainian player agency built around long-term career planning for domestic talent moving from the UPL and First League into stronger European competitions. The agency operates through a Kyiv-registered company with roots in Kharkiv’s football scene and has been active in professional player representation for more than a decade.
AL&IK specialises exclusively in football, focusing on strikers, attacking players and versatile defenders, with a growing portfolio of youth prospects. A key differentiator is the use of both Ukrainian and foreign entities to structure cross-border transfers and in-house legal and tax support, which the agency argues allows for bespoke solutions in complex deals.

Approach & Philosophy
AL&IK positions itself as an aggressive, market-driven agency that specialises in unlocking international moves for players coming out of Ukraine’s domestic system. The team emphasises regular contact with players and their families, comprehensive advisory work on decisions before, during and after a playing career, and a willingness to place clients first into “stepping-stone” leagues on the way to top-5 competitions.
On the negotiation side, AL&IK leans heavily on detailed contract analysis and bespoke tax/legal structures, including the use of foreign entities where possible, to improve net outcomes for players and partner clubs. The agency is comfortable in high-pressure, sometimes contentious situations and prepared to publicly defend its approach when challenged.
Fees & Transparency
The agency does not publish a standard commission table. In line with broader European practice and FIFA rules, representation fees are understood to sit broadly in the 5–10% range of a player’s gross salary, depending on the deal type and whether the agent represents the club, the player or both.
Dual representation is used in some transfers but must now follow the stricter FIFA agent regulations introduced from 2023. Image-rights and commercial income are usually structured separately from salary, often with the help of local accountants and lawyers. Out-of-pocket scouting or travel expenses are generally treated as part of overall commissions rather than billed directly to players.
Compliance & Reputation
Disciplinary actions / sanctions:
Media reports describe scrutiny of the use of an Estonian company linked to AL&IK in the Dovbyk → Girona transfer and discuss potential sanctions, but Liundovskyi publicly denies any wrongdoing and no formal sanctions have been publicly announced against the agency as of late 2025.
Litigation / disputes:
Former AL&IK agent Oleksii Alyokhin has filed a claim against ex-client Mykhailo Mudryk at the UAF Dispute Resolution Chamber, seeking payment under an intermediary agreement; the case is ongoing.
An Estonian Alik Football Management entity was central to a FIFA dispute between Cruzeiro and Zorya Luhansk over unpaid instalments on Brazilian forward Willian Gomes, underlining the complexity of some structures used in the agency’s deals.
Media sentiment:
Media sentiment is mixed. AL&IK is praised for engineering record transfers and opening elite European pathways for Ukrainian players, but also criticised or questioned in connection with complex financial schemes and high-profile disputes.
Awards/recognition
No formal industry awards are publicly documented, but AL&IK and Oleksii Liundovskyi are regularly mentioned among Ukraine’s most prominent football agencies, particularly in the context of Artem Dovbyk’s rise and his headline transfers to Girona and Roma.
