Optional Contract Extension By Club?

[Zecharya]

As you can see in the screenshot below I've added an Optional Contract Extension clause for several of my players. Does anyone know why I can't activate any of them? One of my players (Marco Aubonney) his contract runs out in 2020 (year is 2018 now), there's an Optional Contract Extension in place, yet I can't activate it. Anyone have the same problem / know the solution?

Thanks!

Think you can only extend it in the last year.

Hmm alright let's hope that's the case. I always thought it was possible to activate at any given time during the contract. That's also what the FM guide says.

Also had this problem once. I just played on and a few months later, I was able to trigger the extension

Same here. Thanks. Still a bit strange, but I'm glad I could activate the clauses
