Contract Negotiation
Contract negotiation is an art form, and at Skelland Brown Management we have mastered it through 30+ years of experience. We recognise that every contract is more than numbers and clauses - it is a reflection of a player's value, ambitions and future potential.
Our team approaches every negotiation with meticulous preparation and strategic insight. We analyse market trends, assess club needs and leverage an extensive global network spanning 20+ countries to secure terms that protect our clients' long-term interests.
What we negotiate
- Salary, performance bonuses and signing-on fees structured around your career trajectory.
- Image rights and commercial entitlements - protecting your brand inside and outside the contract.
- Release clauses, buy-out provisions and exit pathways that preserve future optionality.
- Loan structures, sell-on percentages and add-ons that capture upside for the player.
- Welfare, relocation and family-support provisions that make a move work in real life.
How we work
- 1Listen first. We understand your goals, family situation and red lines before any conversation with a club.
- 2Build the case. Comparable deals, market data and performance evidence become the spine of every negotiation.
- 3Negotiate hard, transparently. You are kept fully informed; nothing is agreed without your sign-off.
- 4Lock it down. Legal review, signing logistics and aftercare are handled end-to-end.
