Wolves paying £27.5million, plus £9.2 million in add-ons, for Nelson Semedo and £35million for Fabio Silva, in the midst of a pandemic, helping to partially alleviate huge debts at Barcelona and Porto, whilst making millions for his company in commission. Jorge Mendes specials.
Jorge Mendes's company is: the agent of Matt Doherty, the agent of Doherty's boss Jose Mourinho, the agent of Doherty's former boss Nuno, the agent of Doherty's replacement Nelson Semedo and an advisor to the owners of Wolves, who have a stake in his business.
Reminder - Porto confirmed after Fabio Silva's £35million move to Wolves that agent received £9million of the fee and £6.2million of that went to Mendes's Gestifute agency.

The Big Winner at the Transfer Window Was Jorge Mendes. Again.

The coronavirus pandemic has sent the soccer industry reeling, but money still flows to Mendes, one of the world’s most powerful agents. He just wrapped up another extremely profitable summer.
