He set up Gestifute in 1996 and his first deal in 1997 saw the current Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo move from Vitoria Guimaraes to Deportivo la Coruna for just over £2m.

Exceptionally good at developing deep, local networks, he for the last 20 years has steadily extended his influence in the Portuguese game to such an extent that he claims to have conducted 68% of all player transactions at Portugal's great clubs, Sporting Lisbon, Benfica and Porto, in the decade 2001-10, according to The Guardian.

Just this transfer window, he concluded deals that generated over £360million in player sales.
