UNREALISTIC WAGE DEMANDS - please help

[JayceFM]

Evening fellow fm’ers. 
 

I’ve not seen this come up anywhere else but I’m having real issues with player wage demands, specifically for younger players. 
 

Some examples are a young 19 yo Columbian striker I tried to sign first season for 1.1m (I’m Liverpool btw) and he wanted 120k per week! Thought it was a one off so carried on with my business. Later tried to sign a South African 22 year old who wanted 220k per week! He then became a free transfer, tried again and wage demands still huge. He later signs for Young Boys for 5.2k per week. 
 

I’m now in my second season and a 19 year old Argentinian centre back wanted 105k per week and now the regens/newgens are after top dollar too. 17 year old right back wanted 100+k per week. 
 

It’s really ruining my save as it’s taking away the main reason we all play this game - to unearth the next wonderkid. There are many other examples too. 
 

I can’t be the only one having this issue surely? Please can you let me know if you’re having the same issues? 
 

Thanks gents

SI have already explained what's going on here. These players won't get a work permit unless they're made one of the top earners at your club, and therefore demand a huge contract because it's literally the only way they can make the move. SI have acknoledged that communication of this needs to be made a lot better, and that there maybe an issue with the players asking for clauses on top of the necessarily high base wage.

Ive had this with contract renewals with existing players at Arsenal.

 

Saka was on 5k p/week i think, turned up in my boardroom demanding 70k + !!

Thanks for the reply. I guess it makes sense but it is a shame, realism aside.

I guess it's off to Scandinavia my scouts go then...bone voyage!

It's a known issue that they are looking into and attempting to improve for release. Even with the WP explanation, it is excessive and I highly doubt young players would price themselves out of move like this.

A lot of fm players attempt to sign wonderkids and if a majority start demanding ridiculous wages in game, it would be a game killer for many.
