About

Bertolucci Sports is Brazil’s leading export-focused football agency, renowned for funnelling elite Brazilian talent to Europe—especially via Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain in the 2010s. Headed by super-agent Giuliano Bertolucci, the firm blends deep scouting networks in Série A and youth tournaments with long-standing relationships across Premier-League and Ligue 1 clubs. Today it manages roughly €700 million in player assets and often collaborates with partner intermediary Kia Joorabchian on complex, multi-club transactions.
