Yaser Asprilla - News & Comments

But agents are paid on players’ wages and sponsor deals they secure for them. Not on transfers. In American sports, agents don’t get paid when a player gets traded. They didn’t facilitate shit. One team calls another and negotiates and then the agent and team agree to wages

an agent needs to be paid on wages and sponsors and that’s it

I’m not saying agents are not needed for players. I’m saying they shouldn’t be paid on transfer fees as that’s a conflict of interest

 

it's pure capitalism. Same when you sell your home and you have to pony up 6% commission....for what? for staging your home a little better and some advertising? The market will dictate what the home will sell for and the lawyers involved make sure the deeds and paperwork are legal and in order. But yet for $1mm+ homes those Real estate agents are making mint.

 

Yeah it’s bad but at least realtors are involved in listing it and doing the paperwork

these clubs have lawyers that do the transfer. What Herrera should be doing is spending time maximizing Yaser’s wages with Rennes, asking for image rights, getting benefits for his client and then getting paid on that. Not getting paid on a transfer that he has nothing to do with

 

I agree. But again, we don't know the real particulars of how that commission fee is constructed. We are all assuming it's a straight cut.

 

also, I guarantee you that upon firing your agent, there's some type of 'break of contract' fee to be payed by the player. these agents are in the player's pockets no matter what.

 

I don't think the argument is agent or no agent I think the argument is there needs to be smart regulations and protections for players just like there should be for buyers of a home. Just because an agent can get a player who's 19 without a college education and doesn't know the ropes to uncapped commission on transfers doesnt' mean its good for anyone other then the agent. The American system is pretty good in this case I think, agents should be capped at a reasonable commission and they can't then negotiate their fee on top of the transfer.

Ideally they should get a commission on any deals and their goal is to do what's in the best interest of the player, moving players around constantly to get an agent more money is clear conflict of interest and its crazy it still goes on.

 

Yeah I don’t even think Yaser should fire his agent, that’s his decision. I just think FIFA should clean this agent mess up. Teams having to cough up extra millions to satisfy agents on transfer fees to an already hyper inflated transfer market is a joke

 

$888 million paid IN JUST 2023 in agent fees. Read the report that goes with this article. It's crazy.

Less than 2 weeks until the leagues start and instead of closing a deal he adds more teams into the mix. I hope Porto and Girona are smoke otherwise they will be flying there and loose more time. Girona I don't like at all, he'll probably be benched. To me both Leicester and Rennes are better options.
He should stay in Leicester close to where the action is.

I don't know what's more depressing the Colombian olympics or this transfer window.

 

Porto, Girona and Rennes all good options. Hate him going to a team battling relegation in the prem, teams just aren't going to prioritize developing a young attacker like Yaser.

 

I think someone will sign him even if it goes down to transfer deadline day

Now Yasers clown agents are using twitter to get their piece of the action. And Watford has even come out and said that they don't need to sell him. They probably can sense nothing is going to happen. Apparently he has 2-3 agents, no wonder they can't close a deal.
They are screwing up both these players careers.

If Yaser were to stay at Watford it would require him to repeat the same season he just had in order to maintain the hype. That will not be easy at all. He may get injured and also one might wonder how motivated he must feel to go back to championship after all this.

This was an easy sell. But as we said before these people are in over their heads. He should get an international agent that has deals like this on their resumee. Not some opportunists that see this as a once in a lifetime way to make a buck.

 

The agent shit is out of control.

The Julian Alvarez to Atlético deal got delayed because they had to negotiate an extra 3 million for the agent. Again, my question is why?

Atlético has lawyers and management. They call city. They ask city if he’d be available and a ballpark price. Assuming the answer is yes, Then they reach out to the agent and ask if his client would be interested in the move (that’s the extent of the agent for the actual transfer). Then they go back and forth and agree on a fee between City and Atlético. Agent should not be paid for this. This is ridiculous.

Meanwhile at the same time, Atlético is negotiating with the agent for Alvarez’ wages. They reach an agreement. This the agent should definitely be paid for as he secured the best wages and terms possible for his client.

City own the rights and have lawyers and management. Atlético is buying the rights and have lawyers and management. The agent taking a cut of a transfer that he has nothing to do with is a scam, a conflict of interest, bad foot football, and just a joke.

 

you can switch agents at any time right? that thing from 3 years ago

 

I’ve been trashing agents but one thing I do feel bad for them is when an NBA or NFL player fires an agent right before their contract is up. In the NBA if it’s a star player, he is getting a super max contract no matter what. Nothing to negotiate. So the star player basically fires the guy that has been paying his dues for 4 or 5 years and hires a new guy to get the big payday. That is jacked up

They say he has a contract until november 2026. They better sort this out I doubt that he will stay at Watford until then. Good thing is that watford is now saying that they are not counting on him and expecting him to leave this month. A small consolation in this awful mess.

Tom Cleverley has confirmed that Yaser Asprilla is no longer in his plans and is expected to leave this month.

Tom Cleverley as a manager is so odd to me

This is getting totally out of control. The agent and Rennes fighting publicly on Instagram and the club even calling him a S.O.B

I don't know if this was their second visit to their premises. I have no idea how this started but my guess no is that this is the agents fault.

 

Haha

He's a fils de pute for jacking up the transfer. Now Yaser is stranded at watford

 

But the first time it was a guy named Herrera that was showing off from the plane, and this time it was a guy named Reyes. Did they send 2 different agents who are competing with each other? I just don't get how they aren't able to decide everything on the phone before they go there. Meeting should just be a formality.

 

He has 3 agents all 3 probably doing their own thing
