Work Permit Causes Transfer Collapse, but player blames me for rejecting the bid.

Hello, thank you for raising this to us.

If possible do you have a save file from before the 12th July 2026? 

I've had this same issue - one of my players, Clement Diop, wanted to leave as he was worried about not getting a work permit when his contract was renewed. I agreed to sell him and accepted two bids, one from Phoenix Rising FC and one from Swindon. Diop rejected the offer from Phoenix to move to Swindon, even though they're another club based in England, which I thought was a little strange... the application for a work permit failed, Swindon cancelled the transfer, and now he's unhappy with me for "rejecting" the bid.

I've uploaded two save game files to allow you to investigate:

Ben McCluskey - York - Diop pre-wp-fail.fm - this save game file is from before the work permit failed and the transfer is cancelled.

Ben McCluskey - York - Diop.fm - this save game file is from when the transfer was cancelled and Diop is asking me to explain why I rejected the bid.

Thank you for the save file and information, we'll review further.
