A global network at your fingertips

For SBE Football, one of Switzerland’s most ambitious agencies, finding the right pathway for its players is the priority.

With more than 100 senior footballers on its books, including Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel, who has an Expected Transfer Value of €33.3million, Sunderland forward Eliezer Mayenda (€16.2m), FC Basel defender Jonas Adjetey (€8.8m) and Galatasaray winger Yusuf Demir (€4.7m) and the agency has a growing influence on the international stage.

With big ambitions of offering the best services to their players, having a huge global network is key to opening up the best opportunities.

"For our ambition in the future, we want to become not the biggest agency in the world by quantity," SBE Football’s Tobias Kuhlmann, COO, said. "We want to off the best services for our players when it comes to transfers, contract extensions and the everyday life.

"For us, transparency, development and 100% commitment is what the agency is based on, and this shows the values of our CEO Philip Degen, who was a former professional who played at Dortmund, Liverpool and Stuttgart."

And TransferRoom is central to how the agency is building transparency and development, and creating opportunities in new markets across the globe.

The Switzerland-based agency are one of over 550 Trusted Agencies on the TransferRoom platform.

It not only means they're verified as the representatives of their players, by their players. TransferRoom also gives them direct access to the key decision-makers at 800+ clubs in 130+ leagues, as well as real-time market intelligence including clubs’ requirements in the transfer market.

The benefits can be seen in the case of 20-year-old attacking midfielder Oluwaseun Adewumi, who secured a loan move to Belgian club Cercle Brugge in the 2025 Summer Transfer Window from newly-promoted Premier League side Burnley FC.

Speaking about how TransferRoom played a key role in that move, Kuhlmann said: “We were contacted by the club on TransferRoom and for Adewumi, it was the perfect option as we wanted to get him to a club where he will play a lot of minutes.

"Adewumi is the perfect example of how we use TransferRoom. We wanted to move him to a club where can play regularly. So we searched specifically for Belgium and we were delighted to be able to transfer him to the Belgian Pro League.

"We mainly use TransferRoom to place our players in leagues where we do not have agents ourselves, to get in touch and build a network, such as Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, Poland - countries like those - and try to make deals and transfers happen there.”

By opening doors in markets where SBE doesn’t have on-the-ground representation, the platform helps the agency build a stronger global network.

This was also the case for Emmanuel Essiam's loan move from FC Basel to Royal Francs Borains, who play in the Belgian Challenger Pro League, during the 2025 Summer Transfer Window.

But for Kuhlmann, the benefits extend beyond individual deals. TransferRoom brings speed, transparency and a clear overview of opportunities.

“In terms of value for money and time, being on TransferRoom gives us a good picture of the markets in addition to our work. It will not replace the agent's work, but it gives us a good idea and a good overview of what is going on in different markets.

"It helps us think out of the box and gives us new opportunities for players that we might want to move for a certain time, for a loan or otherwise. "

For SBE Football, these connections support the agency’s wider mission: to be the best possible partner for its players. And with TransferRoom, they are building the network to make that ambition a reality.
