- 2000s: Veron, Staam, Ferdinand, Drogba, Cech, Tevez, Mascherano, Lisandro Lopez...
- 2004: he is behind the scenes regarding the acquisition of Chelsea by Abramovitch
- 2006: he helps Gaydamack to acquire Portsmouth: he notably lended money...
- 2010s: Legal action against Porthsmouth sinking in the 3rd division: he earns 2 millions of pounds
- : involved in the 2 Neymar deals for example
Agent involved in diverse large-scale deals sometimes without having any "official role".
He founded some investment companies to pay less taxes or acquire some clubs.
He knows everybody in the business and recently said "I'm no longer an agent but an owner of players"
