Approach & Philosophy

GEV’s philosophy is strongly player-centric, built on close personal relationships, continuous support and a holistic view of each career. The agency seeks to remove off-pitch distractions by managing contracts, administration and commercial activities so that clients can focus on performance.

Strategically, GEV specialises in finding and developing value in the Italian system – especially in Serie B/C and youth leagues – and then guiding players into higher stages through realistic, club-friendly deals. Their negotiations are typically pragmatic, using loans with options or obligations and medium-term contracts to balance security for the player and flexibility for the club.

Fees & Transparency

G.E.V. Sport & Management does not publish a formal fee card, but indications from market practice suggest commissions broadly aligned with FIFA recommendations (often around 3–5 % of a player’s gross salary for standard representation, with tailored structures for star clients or complex transfers).

Compliance & Reputation

• Disciplinary actions / sanctions:

  • No publicly known FIFA or FIGC disciplinary sanctions directly involving G.E.V. Sport & Management or Vincenzo Pisacane.

• Litigation / disputes:

  • Occasional media controversies around big names like Insigne have centred on transfer rumours and contract talks rather than formal lawsuits. No major public litigation involving the agency is on record.

• Media sentiment:

  • Predominantly positive to neutral. Italian media often refer to Pisacane as a “super procuratore” or a high-profile agent, particularly in connection with southern clubs such as Cosenza and Catanzaro, with normal criticism when high-stakes deals do not materialise.

Awards/recognition

While G.E.V. Sport & Management has not received major global agent awards, its profile has risen through representing Lorenzo Insigne during his Napoli prime and MLS move, orchestrating one of the biggest recent Serie B operations with Jari Vandeputte, and being cited regularly in Italian media as a leading intermediary in the domestic market.
