World Soccer Agency issued a statement on Tuesday morning confirming that they had ended their relationship with West Ham United and Italy striker Gianluca Scamacca
World Soccer Agency have announced that they will no longer represent West Ham United striker Gianluca Scamacca.
The company, which also represents Tottenham Hotspur’s Dejan Kulusevski, Juventus trio Leonardo Bonucci, Juan Cuadrado and Moise Kean, as well as Inter Milan striker Edin Dzeko, confirmed on Tuesday morning that they would no longer be working with the Italy international.
West Ham signed the 24-year-old from Italian Serie A side Sassuolo in a £30.5million transfer last summer, rising potentially to £35.5million after add-ons. He made his Hammers debut against Manchester City on the opening day of the Premier League season and has so far netted seven times in 24 appearances in all competitions.
A statement from World Soccer Agency read: "Alessandro Lucci's World Soccer Agency announces that it has unilaterally terminated its professional relationship with Gianluca Scamacca.
"Despite the fact that the player's will was to continue together, the agency decided to terminate the collaboration by renouncing the current professional mandate, as the personal and professional conditions that had led to welcoming Scamacca with enthusiasm, commitment and affection into the WSA family have been lacking.
"While regretting the termination of the relationship, which was however deemed inevitable, the agency remains proud of the important work done, the results obtained and the great economic and career opportunities guaranteed to the footballer during the time spent together."
World Soccer Agency was founded by Italian sports agent Alessandro Lucci. The company has represented a number of high profile players that have featured in Serie A, including former AC Milan winger Serginho, ex-Bayern Munich and Inter Milan centre-back Lucio, and former Roma and Juventus striker Mirko Vucinic.
football.london understands that Scamacca has previously held a good relationship with World Soccer Agency prior to his exit.
