en.Wedoany.com Reported - Argentine football star Paulo Dybala has joined Argentine artificial intelligence (AI) football startup LIBRODEPASES (LDP) as a founding partner and strategic investor. The company develops a technology platform for scouting, player valuation, and transfer execution, currently operating in 21 countries with the goal of building a "transfer operating system" for clubs and agents.
The global football transfer market handles over $13 billion in transactions annually. However, decisions in this field are still largely based on fragmented information, limited market visibility, and low predictive capability. LDP focuses on solving this structural inefficiency, announcing Dybala's involvement as a strategic investor and founding partner, aiming to accelerate the company's international positioning within the global Sports Tech ecosystem.
In a company statement, Dybala said football is entering a new phase where technology and intelligence will play a more significant role in decision-making, and the platform LDP is building has the potential to change how clubs and agents understand the transfer market.
Founded in Argentina, LDP develops AI-based infrastructure to optimize football market-related decisions, including scouting, talent discovery, player valuation, background analysis, and operational execution. The company currently collaborates with clubs, agencies, and federations in 21 countries across Latin America and Europe, integrating proprietary machine learning models, process automation, recommendation systems, market intelligence, and generative AI.
LDP founder and CEO Juan Cruz Gotta noted that the transfer market moves billions of dollars annually but operates inefficiently, with clubs and agents lacking the ability to manage players as their primary assets. Company data shows that over 24,000 international transfers occur each year, with more than 80% of transactions having no clear transfer value or being conducted under suboptimal conditions. LDP aims to provide contextual intelligence and predictive capabilities for a business traditionally dominated by personal relationships and information asymmetry.
Another core aspect of the project is evolving from a traditional SaaS software model into a "transfer operating system," intended to become the intelligent infrastructure for comprehensive management of the global transfer market. The platform helps clubs and agents identify players, assess tactical and financial compatibility, detect market opportunities, optimize buying and selling transactions, reduce risks, and automate operational processes. LDP's technical infrastructure is built on Google Cloud Platform, with which the company claims an official partnership, and it is developing autonomous systems and AI agents for the transfer market.
Dybala's involvement also reflects that sports technology and artificial intelligence are entering areas historically overlooked by digital transformation. Previously, technological innovation in football focused largely on physical performance and statistical tracking, while LDP seeks to build a new layer of intelligence related to the economic and strategic decisions behind the business. Gotta emphasized that Dybala's participation represents strategic alignment and a global vision. This event also indicates that Latin America is emerging as a hub for sports innovation and AI applications in football. The company did not disclose specific figures such as revenue, valuation, or Dybala's equity stake, but the announcement indicates its goal is to become an operational intelligence platform for an opaque, multi-billion-dollar sector within the global sports market.
