Player wants loan, refuses to go

So I have a young player who's a really good prospect and I want to keep him, but he's not quite good enough for the first team yet. He comes to me complaining that I'm not playing him, so I tell him I'll let him go out on loan, he seems happy, and a few clubs want to take him, but he refuses to go to any of them.

They're not tiny clubs either, Reggina among others are interested and although they're in Serie B they're not exactly nobodies.

So after refusing any loan he's offered he complains that I'm not trying hard enough to find him a loan club. What can I do in this situation? This seems like a bug.

He wants to go to a more attractive club. I'm afraid there's not a whole lot you can do about it, other than hope a higher reputation club who wants him on loan pops up

The player asking to move and then unhappy when they reject has been logged already. They obviously shouldn't just accept any offer - but definitely shouldn't blame you when you have tried your best.

Transfer his silly arse. You don't want drama like that in your club.

Did you loan him previously?

If you did then that could be the problem. A player goes to a club one season, and then the next season the only clubs interested have a lower reputation, he is very loath to go, especially if he was playing regularly for the first loan club.

It's a bit of a hazard, and something I'd like incorporated into private chats, that you could persuade a reluctant loanee to go out to a club he thinks is too low for him.

Edit: If it's in 2012 sorry for bringing it up. I skipped the game, half afraid that SI would go down the endless DLC route with the game.
