recently signed excellent young defender, relationship broken, needs to be fixed!

i have a broken relationship with an amazing young brazilian defender (poss regen). I played him regularly but he got upset about being in the reserves, then wouldnt sign a new contract and then started missing training and after the resultant warnings and fines he wont talk to me. He's got a year left on his contract, is there anyway i can salvage this relationship? Should I play him or not play him? He keeps bleating on to the press too...nobhead. But he is amazing.

Also, when his contract ends ( i think he's 18 at the mo so 19 when contract ends) is there any way i can get compensation for the fee i paid for him ? (about 4 mil). Thought i could if i offered him a contract and he chose another one?

Cheers

Play him as much as possible, he just wants to play, right?

If he still doesn't sign a new contract, i believe there's a rule that until any player is 24, if you offer them the same contract and they end up signing for the other team, you'll get a compensation.
