About
Ambar NH (Ambar Northern Holding) is a Spanish-based football agency, founded by Claudio Curti, that states it has been “managing football since 1996,” focusing on connecting Latin American talent with opportunities in Europe and other key markets.
Operating through the Ambar Northern Holding SLU vehicle in Spain and working closely with the Primotempo agent network, the agency represents mainly Argentine, Chilean and Mexican players across LaLiga, the Russian Premier League, MLS, Greece, Peru and Malta.

Deals ≥ €10m: 0–1 in the last three seasons; Chávez’s transfer to Dinamo Moscú is reported around €6.5m, below the €10m mark.
Clients in top-5 leagues: 1 current regular in a top-5 European league (Juan Foyth at Villarreal in LaLiga), with others in strong first-tier competitions outside the big-5.
National team clients: 3+ – notably Luis Chávez (Mexico), Juan Foyth (Argentina) and Omar Carabalí (Chile); several others have past youth-national-team experience.
Renewal/extension deals: at least 3 significant renewals recorded recently – Foyth’s long-term extension with Villarreal, Neira’s renewal with OFI Creta and Ustari’s extension with Inter Miami.
Approach & Philosophy
Ambar NH’s approach is strongly relationship-driven, rooted in long-term accompaniment of players from academy level through to senior football. The agency focuses on Latin American profiles that can adapt to European football – especially technically strong, tactically disciplined players – and then builds bespoke pathways into Spain, Eastern Europe, MLS and other markets rather than chasing short-term moves.
Analytics play a supporting role, but most of their edge appears to come from detailed knowledge of the South American and Mexican markets, plus the ability to negotiate complex cross-border deals (for example, Chávez paying his release clause to unlock his European move). Negotiation style, judging from public transfers, is pragmatic – willing to structure deals with clauses and self-financed exits to satisfy both player and club.
Fees & Transparency
Specific commission percentages are not disclosed publicly. Given their FIFA-registered status, Ambar NH is expected to operate within FIFA and national-association caps on agent commissions (typically a single-digit percentage of a player’s gross remuneration, depending on representation side and deal structure).
There is no detailed public information on:
Dual-representation policy (acting for club and player in the same deal)
How image-rights entities are structured per player
Expense reimbursement practices (travel, scouting trips, etc.)
Prospective clients are therefore advised to negotiate and document fee structures clearly in the representation agreement and to align them with updated FIFA Football Agent Regulations in their jurisdiction.
Compliance & Reputation
Disciplinary actions / sanctions:
No FIFA or national-FA disciplinary sanctions against Ambar NH or Ambar Northern Holding SLU were identified in public sources at the time of research.
Litigation / disputes:
Ambar Northern Holding SLU appears as a commission creditor in Brazilian legal and creditor documentation tied to Vasco da Gama’s financial restructuring, with a claim of around US$113,500 related to commissions on a deal involving Sforza.
These listings indicate unpaid commissions owed by the club rather than wrongdoing by the agency.
Media sentiment:
Generally neutral to positive – Mexican and Latin American media highlight Ambar NH’s role in securing Luis Chávez’s move to Dinamo Moscú, while Argentine coverage around Gerónimo Spina’s Atlético Madrid opportunity reflects the agency as a key facilitator for ambitious moves abroad.
Awards/recognition
No formal industry awards specific to Ambar NH were found in major football-business award platforms as of late 2025.
The agency’s visibility instead comes from high-profile operations – especially Luis Chávez’s transfer to Dinamo Moscú and the continued presence of Juan Foyth at Villarreal – which have organically built its reputation within club and media circles.
