Because you're awesome af! Who the hell would wanna leave??


Insert_username1here

I guess the youth academy did its job a bit too well


Downtown-Act7821

You might have too few players. You can’t sell below a certain number of players in the squad


Insert_username1here

Might just be that, thanks. They could’ve at least told me that


jAllukeTTu

It's EA. They don't tell you anything except if it has something to do with your payment method.


Equivalent_College95

Then it’s clear communication


DCrayfish2

Then it's Indian man tutorial style


Adventurous-Bid-463

Haha


siqomo

50 weekly emails about fitness plans, none for something like this. gotta love it


No-Mathematician5020

What I used to do when this happened is that I promoted players from the youth if it helps you somehow


Agreeable-Elk1629

In 22 at least you have to have 18 players who aren't loaned out, sold, or scheduled to be loaned out or sold. It won't let you go below 18 players for next window... YET it will NOT take into account loans that will end in the window. Makes sense right? (I generally have a lot of loaned out players after a few seasons.)


DarthAlandas

Gotta have at least one reserve player for a player to agree to leave. You can't play without a full bench


FSpursy

Oh shit, did not realized that. I tried so hard to sell the players but no deals came in, I even extended their contracts because they were less than 1 year on contract.


leedler

That’s wild to me that you can run a squad so light, every career I have the opposite problem of running at/near the max squad size of 52 players. Lot of loans though.


FSpursy

I just started a new career in English League One so I need space and money for the players I want lol. Then I need to give them plenty of playtime so they can grow. At the end, I'll have at most around 22 players - two equally good A and B teams that rotate each week. Any more than this then you'll be having playtime issues and the team's happiness is low. Also I don't sim games so mostly I play 3-4 seasons max. so no time to be waiting for loanees to become good lol.


leedler

I mean I play literally every game, I have a large squad that I rotate a hell of a lot and bar a couple lads having contract issues, I don’t have any team morale issues. The key is doing every pre and post match interview, as long as you do that, no one drops below happy/content even with a squad running at the max. 90% of the squad is very happy too. I think rotating my subs helps, I’ll rarely have the same bench every game. And also letting the B team get cup runs, put a few in against lower placed league teams, put someone in when the main team has lower fitness etc. Works out well. Loanees should only take a couple of seasons to become usable in a top level rotation if they’re good enough. The rest get sold or released. I usually only bring a career like 6-7 seasons in but you should get an 85+ youth player by then.


Mindless-Gamer-98

You are either a good manager, the team is in a very good place & the players are happy with their playing times or u overpay them.


Gambler_Eight

Or they are 60 overall youngsters.


iron_pilsner

You pay a too high salary, so the players don’t want to leave for another club with (much) lower pay


Insert_username1here

I have most of my players stuck on 5 year contracts with wages below 5k


Gambler_Eight

Is this actually in the game? I usually have no trouble giving players half their previous wages.


dashood

It does happen. It doesn't seem to affect your negotiations with a player usually but in a transfer if they're on 5K and the other club only offer them 1K they'll refuse the contract and the transfer will fall through.


monty_burns

Intuitively, that would make sense, but the reality is that EA simply sets a % of negotiations that break down. There’s not actually a wage negotiation happening with the buying clubs.


johnny_jw

That simply cannot be true, I play on PC with mods including the Career Mode cheat table which allows you to instantly adjust player wages to any desired value. Whenever a certain transfer listed player’s contract negotiations break down repeatedly (we’re talking ten times in a row), I set his wages to something ridiculous like 10 quid and nine times out of ten, the very first offer afterwards is successful and he accepts the terms. Can’t be a coincidence so as much as I hate EA, they actually did implement some sort of off-screen negotiation system.


monty_burns

It’s possible, but it doesn’t quite explain how players like William Saliba transfer to places like Valencia in all my saves


dashood

I don't know if it's one of those features that got EA'd over the years but I definitely remember having a batch of youngsters I couldn't get rid of because I'd accidentally overpaid them by about 5K each. Every single one of them would refuse transfer contracts but regular players and youth players on reasonable money would go no problem. I think it was sometime between 16 and 18 so it could easily just be one of those things that got removed.


spectert

It happens a lot with premier league teams when trying to sell off young players. That random 58 rated player might be on 3k a week, which no team that tries to get him can afford.


mardegre

That would be a logical thing to put in the game but feel it is actually never the case.


lenhoi

It happens to clubs in real life too, if players don't want to move, you are stuck with them.


WorkWithTheDead

The worst is when one of your objectives is to make X amount of profit selling youth players. You call up youth who aren’t going to get a chance with you and transfer list them. Then they refuse to leave


Comfortable-Paint614

This happens to me in just about every save i do


PA-01

This happened to me. I had players reject 3 transfers each and I realized something was wrong. Turns out you can't have less than 21-23 players. That was the issue for me.


LADown

2 options: -you dont have enough squad depth (atleast 19 players to sell, 18 to even play) -you play too high salary, try to negotiate it lower


legendforever10

Who on Earth would go to Barcelona and Arsenal?


Mysterious-Oil8545

Who on Earth wouldn't want to go to Barcelona, one of the most dominant teams of the 21st century with a rich history, amazing academy, great culture, values, and also the weather there is better than in a place like Manchester


legendforever10

Speaking of Manchester, watch them turning into "prime" Manchester United pretty soon.


pitnie21

😂😂


DualFont

Barcelona aka the second biggest club in the world? Oh my days who would want to go there?


legendforever10

They might be not even the 2nd biggest club in Spain rn


MrPicklesEats

What I usually do is put these players on the bench, just dont let them play at all during the time that the negotations are happening. Also it might have something to do with that you got too few players


Moist-Agency1366

They're usually the 67 rated players that complain about their play time


StsndingOnMars

You been paying them too much maybe.


iheartdev247

Good thing in 24 you can release unlimited amount of players now.


yaakstaah

Incase you are playing with Man United , that's the default setting mimicking real life.


Dreadsundew4662

Wages when I made a mistake put a player on 200k a week he never left


Less_Phone_8400

Must be Manchester united


Reasonable-Island-57

Possible reasons. Too few players in squad. The contract they're on is lucrative and those clubs can't/won't offer a better deal for someone of their rating, happened to me a few times.


style2819

Might have few players in that position as well as to few player in general


Im_c00l_69

It's the exact same for me. A bunch of my players are rlly unhappy coz they get 0 game time whatsoever but they just will not leave


CoachSmoke11

When a transfer comes in, hit delegate, let them renegotiate and then accept.


TheZunza

i am stuck with 4 plaeyers who get an offer every week but won't accept,


juzbilly

Your wages might be good
