National and international transfers and loans, including cross-border work-permit pathways.
In-house legal advisory and tax structuring for players, families and investors.
Commercial deals – boots and kit, sponsorships, image rights and brand collaborations.
Quadrans Academy – education planning, dual-career support, mental wellbeing, performance and academic coaching.
Financial advisory via partner specialists (wealth planning, insurance, long-term security).
Relocation support: housing, schooling and local integration for players and families.

Partner Network
Quadrans operates as a family of FIFA Football Agents and support staff, plugged into a broad European club and education network.
Key partner clusters (non-exhaustive):
Clubs & leagues:
Belgian Pro League and Challenger Pro League clubs (e.g. Anderlecht, Club Brugge, KV Mechelen, SK Beveren, KAS Eupen).
Eredivisie clubs (Go Ahead Eagles, PEC Zwolle and others via Dutch collaborations).
Turkish Süper Lig and 1. Lig (historic links via players such as Benito Raman and Haji Wright).
English Championship clubs (Coventry City, Blackburn Rovers, QPR historically).
Academies & education partners:
Quadrans Academy events with academic experts, Pro League executives and top-level coaches.
Collaborations with schools, universities and elite youth programs such as NextGen-type football camps and clinics.
Specialist partners:
Legal and tax partners in Belgium, the Netherlands and the UK.

Track Record (last 3 seasons – approx.)
Total transfers completed: Approximately 20–30 player and staff moves across 2023–24, 2024–25 and 2025–26, including top-flight Belgium, Eredivisie, Turkish leagues and the English Championship.
Deals ≥ €10m: 0 confirmed at or above €10m; the marquee move is Haji Wright to Coventry City at around €9m plus potential add-ons.
Clients in top-5 leagues: 0–2 across the period, as the portfolio has leaned more towards Belgium, the Netherlands, Turkey and England’s second tier rather than the big-5 leagues.
National team clients: At least 3–5 recent or current senior internationals (e.g. Haji Wright – USA, Jason Denayer – Belgium, Ilias Chair – Morocco when previously represented).
Renewal / extension deals: 5+ notable renewals or extensions in the last three seasons, including Lynnt Audoor at Club Brugge and Benito Raman at KV Mechelen.
Approach & Philosophy
Quadrans describes itself as a long-term partner rather than a transactional broker, with a mantra of guiding players from first cont(r)act to post-career life.
Scouting focuses on character, mentality and learning potential as much as technical skills, with the Quadrans Academy built to help players handle education, performance pressure, media narratives and injury setbacks.
The agency favours data-informed decisions, but places equal weight on human insight from ex-pros, coaches and mental-skills experts. Negotiations are framed as collaborative problem-solving between player and club, aiming for sustainable fits rather than short-term spikes – illustrated by their preference for multi-year deals and structured exit options rather than constant churn.
Fees & Transparency
Quadrans does not publicly publish its commission tables, but states that it operates within FIFA Football Agent Regulations and relevant Belgian regional frameworks.
Typical commissions: Industry-standard percentage-based commissions on player contracts and image-rights deals, structured in line with FIFA caps and national regulations.
Dual representation: The firm indicates compliance with FIFA and RBFA rules, which limit or condition dual representation. Where club and player representation overlap, conflicts are managed via disclosure and consent, or avoided entirely where rules prohibit dual roles.
Expenses & add-ons: Travel, legal and specialist performance costs are generally handled transparently through itemised agreements, supported by in-house legal and tax expertise.
Compliance & Reputation
Disciplinary actions / sanctions:
No public record of disciplinary sanctions or regulatory penalties against Quadrans or its listed FIFA agents as of November 2025.
Litigation / disputes:
No widely reported civil litigation involving Quadrans as a respondent; any disputes appear to have been handled privately or at club level rather than through high-profile court cases.
Media sentiment:
Overall positive to neutral. Coverage highlights its educational events, mental-health themed evenings and storytelling around players like Benito Raman and Jari De Busser, portraying Quadrans as an agency that cares about the people behind the player.
Awards / Recognition
Managing partner Gunter Thiebaut’s membership in The Football Forum is a notable peer-recognition marker among elite football agents.
Quadrans Academy’s events featuring high-profile guests (Pro League executives, former internationals, top-flight coaches) function as soft recognition of the agency’s standing in Belgian football circles.
