Extended transfer negotiations

[Lindmann]

I think the way transfer negotiations currently are made, in many cases differs from the reality.

In FM transfers are wrapped up within several days whilst in reality this can be a verly long proces of negotiation between clubs and between club and player.

Sometimes a club comes to an informal agreement with a player first and then makes an offer to the selling club which adds a lot of pressure to the selling club

I think it would be more realistic and way more fun, if the game would incorporate such processes.

So instead of making several separate offers that can either be accepted, rejected or negotoated within seconds, it would be nice if it all would start with indicating interest, initial  talks and then may develop into week- or even months long negotiations, which could either succeed, cool down or maby be postponed because the buying club needs so sell one (or more) of their own player first.  This could perfectly go together with rumors in media, interviews, et cetera.

Also it may be cool if the managers could agree on a specific date somewhere in the future to announce the transfer, in order to aviod negative impacts on the transfer market (like other clubs rising their asking price for players because they know the selling club is now desperate to sign a new player for that position).

Thank you for the suggestion. This will be put under consideration by the developers and could feature in a future FM.
