1. Players’ agents frequently consider that they are entitled to commission when they introduce to the player a party i.e. a club which shows interest in contracting for the player’s services. However, this is not sufficient because in law even where such an introduction may lead to a contract, the introduction itself does not create a contract between the player and the club. The contract is not made until the parties go through the negotiation part and eventually sign the contract. Therefore, a commission is not payable on the introduction of the player but only when the contract is actually concluded. An agency contract where the principal is bound to pay a commission for an introduction must be expressed in writing.
