What are agents' roles?
Agents act as a player's representative, negotiating contracts, wages, and transfer fees on their behalf. They played a key role in the Rogers deal, ensuring Morgan got the best possible terms from Chelsea and Aston Villa received their desired fee. Agents also advise players on career moves and endorsements.
