With this in mind, Dominguez hopes his role as President at the newly created PROFAA (Professional Football Agents Association) will help.

It makes sense given most stakeholders within the sport have organized bodies to act as a unified voice on industry matters.

"Both myself and Dr. Erkut Sogut [vice president PROFAA and agent of German Premier League star Mesut Ozil] have been involved in the consultation process relating to the transfer rules and regulations discussions with FIFA over the past two years. 

"I would like to think that members will benefit from our involvement and feel that the organization is led by people who have a good idea of what the future looks like and steer a steady ship through whatever may arise in the next few years.”

Dominguez’s longevity as an agent/intermediary is largely due to his desire to improve industry standards.

And doing what he loves while helping players achieve their goals brings him a special, almost paternal, satisfaction.

"I firmly believe that if you do the right thing and behave properly within the rules that you will have a long and satisfying career in this business, that is how I live my life and it is the attitude I take to work every day. 

"The key for me in every deal is to ensure that the deal is a good and satisfactory one for all parties. Otherwise, one party will ultimately come to the realization that they entered into a poor agreement and it will end in confrontation or dispute," he warns.

"The number one responsibility of any intermediary/agent is to act in the best interests of their client and nothing supersedes that as a priority.

"It may sound old fashioned, but your word should be your bond.

"Every time I see a client realize their ambition and dream that is a special moment for me. That is why I do what I do. 

"I have had plenty of opportunity over 30 years to do other things but nothing will give me the satisfaction of watching a young player and his family celebrate his first professional contract or a player who plays his first Premier League game or World Cup match. 

"It is a privilege to be allowed to be part of these people’s journey and when they achieve their goals and you have played a part in that.

"Nothing else in my book can replace that feeling.”
