It's a short career as a professional footballer. Every decision is vital. Especially when it comes to deciding on your next club. 

We caught up with centre forward Leonardo Rocha to understand how his agent's use of TransferRoom has helped him accelerate his career by maximising his transfer opportunities.

Rocha moved to Radomiak Radom in the Polish Ekstraklasa in January 2023 from second-tier Belgian club Lierse for a fee of €145k, following a successful pitch by his agent via TransferRoom.  He is represented by Sportback, one of the first agencies to achieve High Transparency status on the platform.

Rocha said: “My agent has been talking about TransferRoom to me for a while. It sounds really interesting. The good thing is that clubs can speak directly to a player’s real agent. You no longer have the problem of having two, three or four different agents all talking to each other, without knowing who is telling the truth. This is a really good thing for the club, the agency and the player.

"For a player, it’s great that our agent has a direct connection with clubs. You know straight away what your possibilities are and if any interest is real. That means deals go much faster. It’s been a revolution. Everything is direct and clear. It’s much easier for everybody."

One of the unique benefits of TransferRoom is that decision makers at over 650 club worldwide can connect instantly with a player's verified agent, without the need for any intermediaries. This helps deals get done faster and reduces the chance of moves falling through due to a lack of progress.

Rocha continues: "Before TransferRoom, my future was dependent on the work of my agent and his connections. You’d only have one or two options. Now, with TransferRoom, you have a lot more options because clubs use it to directly target the kind of player they want.

If you’re playing well you could be a priority for lots of clubs around the world.  With TransferRoom, the possibility of moving to a club at a higher level is much greater. "
