37 of 2021 on sports agents (the ‘Decree’) has at long last finalised the public regulatory framework governing the profession of sports agents in Italy, filling the gap to a reform introduced almost five years ago. This leads to the category of established agents being, in practice, destined only to include a very small number of agents. Domiciled agentsIt is with specific regard to domiciled agents that the Decree introduces the most significant and controversial innovations. As a result, only non-EU agents appear able to continue working as domiciled agents in Italy. Domiciled agents’ feesPursuant to Article 15, paragraph 6, agents’ fees must be paid directly by the client (club or player) to the domiciled agent and to the (national) ordinary agent, respectively.
