Approach & Philosophy

Carmenta positions itself as a boutique agency built around tight player follow-up, with a defined transfer function and a separate football-ops lead. The public “Talents Pool” suggests a dual focus: immediate first-team representation plus development-first work with academy players in France.

Fees & Transparency

Carmenta does not publish a standard commission card publicly. In practice, agent compensation and disclosure obligations depend on the applicable association rules and the transaction structure (player services, club services, or permitted dual representation).

Compliance & Reputation

• Disciplinary actions / sanctions: No public disciplinary items identified in the reviewed sources

• Litigation / disputes: No specific public disputes identified in the reviewed sources

• Media sentiment: Neutral to positive – coverage is primarily transactional rather than controversy-driven

Awards/recognition

No major industry awards or formal recognitions publicly associated with Carmenta were identified in the reviewed sources.
