The bizarre world of football

I regret to say that I am failing to keep up. The Independent reports:
Luiz Felipe Scolari wants to make Deco, the Portuguese international, his first signing at Chelsea. Talks have taken place with agent, Jorge Mendes, who represents both manager and player. The Barcelona midfielder will cost £10m. The 30-year-old has other options, not least Internazionale, who are now coached by another of Mendes's clients, Jose Mourinho, but he is understood to favour a move to the Premier League.

Who is this guy Mendes? And does he not have some serious conflicts of interest?
