Agents including Mendes and Raiola vow to fight FIFA transfer reforms

World football's governing body have proposed cutting fees owed to the representatives of players and clubs involved in transfers

High-profile agents such as Jorge Mendes and Mino Raiola are among a group who are set to fight reforms from FIFA, who are proposing to cap agents' fees.

Mendes, who represents the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Jose Mourinho, and Raiola, who boasts Paul Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic among his clients, were among 200 of the world's biggest football agents in attendance as the Association of Football Agents (AFA) met in north London.

FIFA are proposing that the agents of a player involved in any transfer and the agent of the buying club would only earn a maximim of three per cent of the total transfer fee - a figure that falls below the current standard.
