The total amount of agents fees paid by football clubs in England has now been made public.

The decision was made a while ago by the authorities that all agents fees paid by top English clubs had to be made public in the need for transparency.

The period covers the last two transfer windows (Summer 2023 and January 2024) and represents all intermediary and agents’ fees paid by clubs during the specified period via the FA’s clearing account.

Remember, this is money paid to the middle men that is not just necessarily when buying players, plenty of clubs using agents to help sell players as well.

Man City last season (2022/23) with £35m outlay at the very top of the spending on agents fees (That 2021/22 table of agents fees is also below), a total of £318m spent by the 20 PL clubs last season.

Man City have seen their £35m figure last season become £60m paid in agents fees for the current 2023/24 season BUT they are no longer top!

Instead, Chelsea with a truly horrific and staggering figure of over £75m spent on agents fees!

The spending this season is £409m by the 20 Premier League clubs, up £91m compared to the previous season (£318m).

As for Newcastle United, last season (2022/23) the NUFC owners allowed £10.7m in agents fees, for 2023/24 that figure has shot up to £18.8m.

Here though are the official FA amounts for agents fees in this Premier League season – 2023/24:

All intermediary and agents’ fees paid by Premier League clubs over the past year (Summer 2023 and January 2024 transfer windows):

As you can see, Newcastle United the 8th highest when it comes to agents fees this 2023/24 season.

Some truly horrific / mad amounts above, with the ‘big six’ all appearing in the top seven spots, as they use their established financial positions to spend on agents fees as well as transfer fees and wages.

Aston Villa the other club amongst the top seven spenders on agents fees this season.

All intermediary and agents fees paid by Premier League clubs in the 2022/23 season (Summer 2022 and January 2023 transfer windows):

The spending this season is £409m by the 20 Premier League clubs, up £91m compared to the previous season (£318m).

So much money going out of football in agents fees. This benefits nobody, apart from the agents of course!!!
