Contract Expiring

Cesc Fabregas's contract is due to expire in less than 2 months. He is "Considering his options" and "Wants to be transfer listed" and is very interested in joining my team.

For some reason I cannot offer a contract to him :confused:

Is there a new rule whereby you can only offer contracts during the transfer window or something?

I don't want to miss out on this bargain

If you are an English club you can only offer contracts to player at a different English club one month before it is due to expire. Outside it's 6 months before.

Its because he needs to have less than 1 month left on his contract if your from a club in england

Thanks for the quick responses

Has the rule been changed, because I'm sure you could offer a contract 6 months before?

I manage in the Premier League BTW

It's a sucky rule for sure

It changed a couple of years ago I think.

I'm sure FM09 was the same, 08 might have been 6 months.
