Paying on Installments

[akakhtar]

Ok guys, i'vesearched the forums and think i've found something which i am not too sure about. Need some help please. Ok, say if i bid for a player and offer £10m upfront with £12m over 12 months then all in all, £22m will be taken out of my transfer budget when the transfer is completed. I've seen a lot of people on the forums saying they have signed such and such player and paid such and such amount over 48 months and have signed quite a few player with that tactic. Just need to know if i offer to pay a certain amount for a player over 48 months, will that still come out of my budget. Cheers guys.

No- in the first year, the initial fee and the first 12 months installments come out of the transfer budget. The subsequent 36 months will come out of the following year's budgets.

I wouldnt mind some clarification on this!

I have paid lump sum and instalments but never checked this if I am honest

so if i pay over 24 months still only the first 12 months fees and the lump sum will come out straight away?

Yes- what you are due to pay in year 1 is all that comes out in year 1
