THE·TEAM tops Transfermarkt’s September 2026 agency ranking with 377 players transferred. CAA Stellar follows with 204, ahead of CAA Base on 201 and Unique Sports Group on 198.
This ranking highlights the breadth of recorded player movement. Alongside large international agencies, it includes businesses whose transferred players have relatively modest combined market values, showing a part of the market that receives less attention than the largest individual deals.

What counts in this ranking?
The order follows the graphic’s “players transferred” column. Although the headline refers to the number of transfers, the published metric is a count of players recorded as transferred. It should not automatically be treated as a count of individual negotiation mandates or every transaction handled by an agency.
The source graphic does not state the exact start and end dates of the transfer period, so the date identifies the snapshot rather than a complete calendar-year total. It also does not provide a breakdown of permanent moves, loans, loan returns or other inclusion rules.
The player rosters and market-value totals below come from the same 14 September graphic. Estimated market value is separate from actual transfer fees and agency earnings. Transfermarkt also notes that its available data is not fully comprehensive.

THE·TEAM records a substantial lead
THE·TEAM has 173 more transferred players than second-placed CAA Stellar. Its count is approximately 1.85 times that of the runner-up.
The leading agency also has the largest listed roster in this graphic, with 1,503 players. That scale gives useful context to its transfer activity, although the ranking does not reveal how the work was divided among individual agents or offices.
CAA Stellar, CAA Base and Unique Sports Group are closely matched
Only six transferred players separate CAA Stellar in second place from Unique Sports Group in fourth. CAA Base sits between them with 201.
The people behind these organisations include David Manasseh at CAA Stellar, Leon Angel at CAA Base, and Will Salthouse at Unique Sports Group. The totals are agency-level figures and cannot be attributed to those individuals personally.

ProStar, SEG, Gersh and AS1 complete the leading group
ProStar takes fifth place with 165 transferred players. It is followed by SEG on 162, Gersh on 159, and AS1 on 155.
All eight agencies at the top of the graphic exceed 150 transferred players. Ninth-placed Daniel Piconcelli records 97, creating a noticeable gap between those leading eight agencies and the rest of the published list.
The ranking reaches beyond the highest-value transfer market
Daniel Piconcelli’s 97 transferred players account for €4.8mm in combined estimated market value. EmartSoccer and MVP Agency each record 83 players, with market values moved of €13mm and €12.1mm respectively.
Further down, Soccer and more records 75 players and €9.4mm, while General Sports Worldwide appears with 60 players and €6mm.
Their inclusion shows how a transfer-count ranking brings different businesses into view. Agencies can feature prominently through a large number of recorded player moves, even when the associated market values are much lower than those of agencies working with more highly valued players.
Ties and market values add context to the order
Three pairs share the same transferred-player count: EmartSoccer and MVP Agency on 83; PRO Profil GmbH and BC Group on 71; and Nordic Sky and World in Motion on 61. The list preserves Transfermarkt’s displayed order because the graphic does not state a tie-breaking rule.
Market values provide another perspective. In this same snapshot, fourth-placed Unique Sports Group records €396.7mm moved, slightly above second-placed CAA Stellar on €390.6mm. A higher transferred-player count does not necessarily produce a higher combined market value.
For anyone comparing football agencies, this ranking is a useful starting point for understanding recorded activity. The linked profiles add the detail needed to examine client rosters, individual representatives, services and career support.
