Jorge Paulo Agostinho Mendes (born 7 January 1966) popularly referred to in the form of Jorge Mendes, is a Portuguese football agent. He is recognized by the Portuguese Football Federation and heads the GestiFute company, which was established in 1996. Mendes is one of the most prominent football agents around the globe with clients such as Cristiano Ronaldo David de Gea, Jose Mourinho, Diego Costa, James Rodriguez and Joao Felix. Mendes is frequently referred to as ”super-agent” “super-agent”.

In 2004 Mendes helped broker Jose Mourinho’s transfer from Porto to take over Chelsea even though Mourinho already had an agent, Jose Baidek, whom Mourinho knew from his time as a student at Uniao de Leiria and who was believed to be arranging an offer to Liverpool. Mourinho and Mendes worked together with their agent Pini Zahavi who acted as Chelsea’s agent.

Manchester United’s then manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, admitted that he had not seen Bebé play before signing the player. He had reportedly been recommended to the club by Carlos Queiroz, who had two spells as assistant manager at Manchester United and who at that time was coach of the Portugal national team. Queiroz’s relationship with United had been important in the transfers of Anderson and Nani in 2007; he is also represented by Mendes.

After Mourinho’s departure from Chelsea in September 2007, Mendes oversaw his move to Inter Milan in 2008 for a fee that made him the highest paid coach in the world, and then, in May 2010, that which saw him move from Inter to become Real Madrid’s manager on a four-year contract worth £40 million.

GestiFute was also a part-owner of the rights to the economy of several of the players. On July 3, 2003 Porto acquired 20% of Brazil-born Portuguese professional Deco’s rights from GestiFute to the tune of EUR2.25 million. This was in addition to five percent of the financial rights of Ricardo Carvalho and Paulo Ferreira. In the following days, GestiFute sold a further 15% of Deco’s commercial rights to Porto this time, in exchange to EUR1.25 million , and 10 percent of the striker Benni McCarthy’s right.
