DE 9 Fútbol’s visible footprint suggests a South America-first pathway model – building careers in Argentina/Uruguay and facilitating upward steps via targeted club fits, loans, and contract timing. The roster mix (first-tier regulars, returning/loan moves, and U23 prospects) indicates a pragmatic approach focused on minutes, market exposure, and negotiable contract windows.
FFAR sets a global framework that includes representation agreement standards and a fee-cap structure (commonly referenced as 3%–5% of remuneration depending on thresholds and representation type, and 10% of transfer compensation for the releasing club in relevant cases).
However, enforcement has been legally contested, and national implementations may suspend certain provisions. In practice, players and clubs should confirm the active national rules, disclosure obligations, and whether any cap-related rules are currently enforced in the relevant jurisdiction.
