Cristiano Ronaldo's representative Jorge Mendes tops Forbes's list of the world's richest football agents.

Cristiano Ronaldo's representative Jorge Mendes has been named by Forbes as the world's richest football agent.

The Real Madrid star is one of 13 football figures, including Diego Costa, David de Gea and Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, whom Mendes represents.

The Portuguese national, who recently received a Greek island from Ronaldo as a wedding gift, has negotiated more than £625m in player contracts, according to Forbes' business analysts.

Jonathan Barnett is second in the list following his role in sealing a world record £85m move to Madrid for Gareth Bale.

The agent, who also represents Joe Hart, Adam Lallana and Luke Shaw, has contracts worth £287m, while Paul Pogba and Mario Balotelli's right-hand man Mino Raiola is fifth in the list.
