About Maxime Nana
Maxime Nana is a Cameroonian football agent best known for combining representation work in Europe with grassroots talent identification in Cameroon through his long-running G8 trials and tournament ecosystem.
Major reporting links him directly to the earliest career steps of André-Frank Zambo Anguissa, describing how Nana’s G8 trials helped bring the player into structured development and eventually onto the European pathway.
In Europe, Nana has been repeatedly cited in transfer coverage as the agent for high-profile Cameroonian international Nicolas N’Koulou, including Italian-market negotiations and club interest narratives over several windows.
He is the registered agent for Anguissa (Napoli) and Wilfried Singo (Galatasaray), giving him two top-tier clients and a boutique roster concentrated around elite-level physical profiles.
Coverage and social posts around client moments also show Nana operating in multi-party negotiation environments alongside prominent European intermediaries, suggesting a strong network for structuring moves and renewals.
His public footprint is comparatively low for an agent tied to marquee players, and a consistent theme across credible mentions is that his influence is expressed more through relationships, scouting funnels and deal access than through personal branding.
Highlights:
Talent funnel builder – runs G8 trials/tournament linked to Cameroonian prospect identification
Strong Italy connection – regularly appears in Serie A-linked negotiation reporting
Boutique roster strategy – small client list anchored by elite-level starters
Player-first pathway focus – cited as a key influence in early development decisions
