Extending loans

This is a bit pointless for me now since I'm way past this point on my save but when I started my game I went with the mighty Hull City.

At the beginning Robbie Brady is with the club on loan till January. He played very well for my team and I wanted to keep him till end of the season so I decided I should go and try to extend his loan period for a couple of months.

Problem is I couldn't find how to extend it. I went to his profile all that was there was "make an offer". I clicked on that and went to the drop down menu looking for the "Loan" option but it was greyed out. I know you can extend loans because I've done it before on the older FM's and I keep getting loan extend offers for my youths.

Any help would be great for future reference.

What month are you in now? I seem to remember you get the option to extend the loan in your news feed when the existing loan deal gets nearer to expiring

not sure how it works in England, but is extending a loan counted as signing a new loan contract? If so maybe its out of the loan window?

I tried to extend it when there was about 2 weeks left and kept checking every few days after that.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact he was on loan at the start of the game rather than him being loaned in by me?

it shouldnt be, when we program in loans they should work in the same way as if you organised it
