7) Pini Zahavi

Zahavi became heavily invested in Chelsea’s transfer dealings after the Blues were taken over by Roman Abramovich. Several of his deals were investigated for alleged corruption while he was also involved in a failed takeover at Portsmouth. His most famous client however is Carlos Tevez.

6) Tim Hager

Yann M’Vila, Mamadou Sakho, Antoine Griezmann are currently on his list of clients. The former has been at the centre of a number of transfer storms over recent years, while his WB Sportmanagement agency have proved notoriously difficult to deal with.

5) Mino Raiola

The mastermind behind Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s incredible career, which has included spells at Barcelona, both Milan clubs and Paris Saint Germain. Mario Balotelli and Edinson Cavani are also on his list of clients, so it’s easy to see why he’s made a lot of money in his career.

4) Jonathan Barnett

Shot to fame by helping launch Lennox Lewis’ career in boxing. However, he hit the headlines in far more unfortunate circumstances in 2006. He was involved in the ‘tapping up’ scandal involving Ashley Cole and his move from Arsenal to Chelsea. He also works with Gareth Bale.
