this happened to me too, and I dont think it has anything ot do weather I;m at a rich club. I'm at Real atm and wanted to sign diego renan..Ajax had a 9 mil + clauses bid accepted for him but I had to pay 15 mil $$. Well anyway, I just tried this to make sure of bug, I have seen this in other cases as well. When I started contract negotiations initially he wanted 64K per week and app fee of 30k per game.. WTF!! Well I could get the app fee below 12K no matter how much I tried ( make weekly wakes were 32 K !!!wth? and the ****** board wouldn't let me offer more than 1.2 mil to the agent.. and he'd as for 2 mil agen n agen. Then when the talks broke down he eventually signed for Ajax, for get this $1500 per game and 17.5K a week!!! WTH?? Sports interactive have seriously banged up this game.. and its not only for this agent.. ALL agents want more money from human players but settle for a lot less from the AI clubs, barring one or two good ones.
This is ****** ridiculous!! its really putting me off signing any players at ALL!! even the wonder kids want a **** of a lot of money!
