Anthony Joshua’s New Football Agency Eyes Ronaldo Signing

Boxing champion Anthony Joshua and promoter Eddie Hearn are launching a new football agency that could attract top talent, including Cristiano Ronaldo.

The agency will offer a comprehensive service for footballers, covering transfers, sponsorships, lifestyle management, and long-term career planning.

According to Hearn, “We’ve been fine-tuning the plans for months. AJ went and posted about it on Instagram, and everything went mental, players, clubs, sponsors, media, everyone came to us.” The agency is targeting elite players, with Hearn stating, “I’m not interested in representing a couple of lower league players. I want to enter at the highest level.”

Joshua’s profile and connections in the Middle East have already opened doors, including discussions with Ronaldo. Hearn added, “AJ can speak to any player he wants.

One of the biggest challenges agencies face when recruiting players is simply getting in front of them. AJ can get in front of any player in the world tomorrow.”

Ronaldo’s interest was hinted at, with Hearn saying, “Ronaldo didn’t DM me, but let’s just say a few eye emojis popped up. Quite a few high-profile players sent them. They weren’t saying they were signing with us tomorrow, but they were definitely showing interest.”
