It has been revealed that Newcastle United paid £20,284,806 in agents fees / to intermediaries in a 12 month period which included the last two transfer windows.

The Newcastle United total included in a quite atrocious £460m+ paid out by Premier League clubs collectively.

The period the figures were released for was 4 February 2025 to 2 February 2026.

In a separate document (see below) issued by the FA, they list all the deals for each club, where that club used (and presumably paid) an agent to do work for them.

A lot of the agents fees relate to when players are brought in, but clubs also use/pay agents to help facilitate outgoing deals as well, plus giving existing players new contracts and so on.

All intermediary and agents fees paid by clubs during the period 4 February 2025 to 2 February 2026 via the FA’s clearing account:
