AMANDA STAVELEY’S role in the proposed £300million Saudi takeover of Newcastle has dominated headlines in recent weeks.
But over in Romania, another football power broker is planning her own foray into club ownership.
Prodan has been called the world’s hottest football agent
She posts loads of swimsuit photos for her hundreds of thousands of Insta followers
Prodan has a jet set lifestyle and is interested in buying a top-flight Romanian club
Meet Anamaria Prodan, a former Playboy model who has been called “the world’s hottest football agent”.
According to gsp.ro, Prodan, 47, has recently stated she is interested in purchasing FC Hermannstadt despite the club’s alleged debts of around £630,000.
Prodan already has ties to football owing to her marriage to former Romania midfielder Laurentiu Reghecampf.
But she is looking to branch out further, and the same website claims, when asked in the context of Hermannstadt about what she would do post-coronavirus, she replied ‘with a smile on her face’: “I don’t know, I’m thinking of buying a football club.”
Prodan may be a relative unknown over here but her Instagram profile has attracted a massive 642,000 followers.
Prodan secured the biggest transfer of a Romanian player outside the country in history
She also clearly enjoys her downtime too though
Prodan enjoys the finer things in life and loves showing them off on social media
According to the Daily Star, she last posed for Playboy 12 years ago but recently suggested she wanted to do so again by captioning a typically risque photo: “No one can stop me.”
Asked about posing in adult magazines, she said: “I see nothing wrong with modelling for adult magazines and I would even let my daughter do it if they wanted to.”
Prodan certainly doesn’t lack confidence.
She is said to have once claimed “all men” want her – and that could be true for footballers at least, given her standing as a top agent in the game.
Prodan helped broker the transfer of Nicolae Stanciu from Steaua Bucharest to Anderlecht for almost £9million in 2016 – making him the most expensive Romanian export of all-time.
The 47-year-old has been employed at football clubs at boardroom level for a number of years
And former Chelsea star Adrian Mutu was also one of her clients.
In 2009 she became executive chairman of FC Snagov before taking up a similar role at FC Cluj three years later.
Now she is planning to enter the boardroom again while also splitting her time with TV roles and a modelling career.
