No need to miss out on deal opportunities anymore

Football agents are always under pressure to be on top of potential opportunities in the market and ensure that each of their clients have awareness of their options. But with the transfer landscape changing fast, it is so easy to miss out through a limited network and a lack of reliable access to what clubs are looking for in real time.

In a market where timing is critical, having access to insights that position you ahead of the competition is key to long-term success.

That’s where TransferRoom comes in, football’s only transfer marketplace for clubs, agents and players.

Having revolutionised the transfer market since launching in 2017, TransferRoom is an essential part of modern transfer strategy, providing thousands of customers with unparalleled global market access and intelligence.

Within our online platform, the requirements functionality on TransferRoom has evolved significantly over the last 12 months. Here we explain how agencies can leverage this functionality to gain a competitive advantage wherever they are in the world.

What are Club Requirements?

Club requirements are the backbone of our Club to Agent network offering, providing real-time listings of what clubs are looking for in the transfer market.

These listings allow agents to understand club needs at scale and align their players with genuine market demand, pitching the closest-matching players to each listing’s criteria.

By consistently monitoring club requirements, agencies can not only match players with clubs but also identify emerging trends in player demand.

For example, if multiple clubs in a specific league are seeking defensive midfielders with a high pressing ability, agents can proactively market players who fit that profile to clubs across TransferRoom to drive up interest.

Here you can see how Romanian club Dinamo Bucharest used requirements to make two key signings who helped to transform them from relegation battlers to title challengers.

Key Value

• Pitch directly to recommended clubs when you have a match.
• Increase the probability of successful negotiations.
• Reduce wasted time on speculative approaches.

What are ‘Requirements’ for Agencies?

“Requirements" is a way for agents to capture potential opportunities they discover in meetings with clubs inside TransferRoom.

You may be used to having written notes or word documents scattered across your agency, where meetings have occurred with clubs and those meetings notes are captured but not organised or actionable.

Centralising “Requirements” is your way of digitally organising leads from meetings, ensuring all potential opportunities are documented in a central place where you can then action these opportunities, either through pitching directly to the club or by sharing these requirements with other agents.

Key Value

• Log potential opportunities inside TransferRoom so the platform can recommend players matching the criteria.
• These requirements are digitally stored in TransferRoom for future reference and use, allowing easy collaboration with other agents and centralising your market intelligence.
• Agents can use these insights to strategically pitch players, improving the efficiency of your pitching.

Sharing Requirements via the Agent Network

Requirements documented inside TransferRoom can be shared with other agents, forming the basis for intermediation to happen within the platform.

Agent to agent collaboration involves finding new opportunities found exclusively on our new Agent Network, which are created by other Trusted Agents with a view of making the intermediation process more transparent and trustworthy.

These requirements will not showcase the specific club, protecting their anonymity and agents can only pitch players which our data suggests are a recommended match.

Nowhere else in the football industry can you find a Trusted Agent to agent network with access to over the decision-makers at over 800 clubs.

Key Value

• Agent to agent network to collaborate on opportunities.
• TransferRoom automatically matches your portfolio to any that have a high probability of success.
• The only trusted intermediation platform in football.

What are Predicted Requirements?

Predicted Requirements take anticipating transfer market movements and your next opportunity to a new level by using AI-driven analytics to identify patterns in club recruitment strategies.

By analysing the tactical styles of Head Coaches, squad compositions, player availability, historical transfer trends and more, our system predicts what clubs will need before they even announce a signing and aligns these predictions to your player portfolio.

We tested this model in the 2024 Summer Transfer Window. The accuracy was 90%, with clubs that we predicted had a specific player need going on to sign a player for that position matching the profile.

Key Value

• AI-powered insights into future transfer opportunities.
• Prepare for potential moves ahead of market competition.
• Engage with clubs before they publicly announce their needs.

In today's fast-paced transfer market, agencies need more than just access to opportunities. They need tools that enable them to act swiftly and strategically. Staying ahead isn't optional. It’s essential.
