Loyalty Bonus after player asking to move

[ianscousemac]

I have a quick question with regards to loyalty bonuses.

I understand that if I sign a player on a 4 year deal with a 400k loyalty bonus he will earn 100k of that per year.  If I sell him after 2 seasons he will have earned 200k and I will have to pay him the remaining 200k up front when he leaves.  If he requests a move he forfeits any remaining loyalty bonus once he transfers to another club.  

What If he approaches me?  Asks to move to another club that is interested in him.  I promise to sell him, although no formal transfer request is made by the player.  Would he still be entitled to his remaining loyalty bonus?

Yes as far as i am aware, That is why a player often 'Hands in a transfer request' at a strange time like deadline day. I know when the whole word knew Andy Carroll was leaving Newcastle he requested a transfer to make the move go smoother and get the deal done. I seem to recall Raul Meirelles doing similar at chelsea

Unless they officially ask for a move they do not forfeit their bonus, Maybe it is negotiated on some occasions
