Italian Agent Giuseppe Riso Takes Soccer Agency GR Sports to New Heights

Italian sports agent Giuseppe Riso has transformed his soccer agency, GR Sports, into a powerhouse within the industry.

After starting his career waiting tables in Milan and learning from industry giants like Mino Raiola and Adriano Galliani, Riso founded GR Sports in 2013.

Riso’s agency focuses on nurturing young talent, with players like Sandro Tonali, Davide Frattesi, and Alessandro Buongiorno already boasting significant market value.

GR Sports recently signed Italian prodigy Francesco Camarda, who made headlines by debuting for AC Milan at just 15 years old.

Riso’s strategic approach to player representation has led to a client portfolio worth over $300 million.

In 2022, GR Sports generated revenue exceeding $13 million and orchestrated the record-breaking transfer of Tonali to Newcastle United in 2023.

Riso now aims to expand GR Sports internationally while maintaining a personalized approach to player development.

He sees emerging soccer markets in Scandinavia, the United States, and the Middle East as key areas of opportunity for the future.
