We present a novel micro-structure for the market for athletes. Clubs simultaneously target bids at the players, in (Nash) equilibrium internalizing whether (cid:150)depending on the other clubs(cid:146)bids (cid:150)a player not hired would play for the competition. When talent is either scarce or has low outside options, we support (cid:150) and generalize to heterogeneous players (cid:150) the Coasian results of Rottenberg (1956) and Fort and Quirk (1995): talent allocation is e¢ cient and independent of initial (cid:147)ownership(cid:148) and revenue sharing arrangements. We also characterize equilibria when talent is abundant (or has a high outside option). The analysis uses a non-speci(cid:133)c club objective with an endogenously derived trade-o⁄ between pecuniary and non-pecuniary bene(cid:133)ts.
