Meet the man behind Alexis Sanchez's transfer to Manchester United: Fernando Felicevich is the rugby-playing agent with a sunny smile who stands to make £15m after befriending family of his then 15-year-old player

You might not be aware that, as well as being rap’s most successful businessman, Jay Z is also a sports agent. A very successful one too – last year he made nearly £14million from his ties with the likes of NBA All-Star Kevin Durant and baseball's five-time Silver Slugger Robinson Cano.

One place below Jay Z in Forbes’ list of the world’s most successful sports agents in 2017 sits a much less-celebrated name. Fernando Felicevich does not have the global clout of a superstar rapper yet still made around £13.5m last year from football deals.

When Alexis Sanchez joins Manchester United, Felicevich will earn up to £15m from that one deal alone.
