[Player With No Basque Nationality]

Thanks @Zachary Whyte - the save file is uploading at the moment under Geronimo Dalli - A.Bilbao - Albisu. 

The player in question here for the new file is Javier Albisu at Real Madrid.

Also worth noting that Unai Urrutia was sold from Real Sociedad to Leverkusen, and when he was sold I was notified and given a small fee (solidarity contribution I think it's called?), suggesting he had been part of our club at some stage but it didn't show in his history. I can't remember an inbox notification to say he had been poached at an earlier date but it's possible I didn't see it and/or forgot about it if it was years before. Given this new one with Javier Albisu it could all be linked to players being poached from my academy and then subsequently losing/not gaining their Basque nationality.

Hey @Zachary Whyte - I have another slightly odd one on my save, I am not sure if it will be visible on the provided save file as it involves a player generated in the 2029/30 season, which i have a feeling the provided save file may predate. 

I have a player who is born in Lasarte (Basque country town) - I have a transfer clause for the player in my clauses list (suggesting he came through my academy at a younger age). I believe he was poached from my academy by Real Madrid - he is there now still but has no Basque nationality. A bit more of a niche situation this one compared to Unai Urrutia in my prev. save file provided which is a bit more clear cut, as this new player has taken a unique direction in the game, but I believe he should still have Basque nationality. Let me know if it's worth providing a new save file.

Hi, this isn't a bug, just a message that might appear if you have a high-potential young player.  

Ok. Hopefully the team can find whatever issue has caused the nationality issue! Worth noting he is a newgen I just have a face pack on

Hey @Zachary Whyte - unsure if this is relevent but thought I may as well mention it just in case. I noticed this comment on a scout report, not a comment I've seen before.

Player name is Unai Urrutia - currently in the u19s at Sociedad!

Thanks for sharing the save game with us. It gives the QA some more to work with which helps investigating. The contract reduction for Yuri is probably something worth checking our side too.

Yeah the whole thing seems like a bug linked to the board favoured policy of one year deals for over 32s…like they would happily accept a lower wage on a 2 or 3 year deal, but something is forcing the game to default to end of season deals only and the players accept it as if it’s actually a longer deal

[One Year Contract Renewals for Over x Age (Board Preference)]

Hi @Michael Sant,

I've uploaded the oldest save game file I have, in game date is December 9th. Unfortunately (I've tried my 3 rolling save files) you can't do any negotiations relevant to this bug, however you can view prior examples. The save game file is called 'Geronimo Dalli - A. Bilbao (v03) and is on the cloud.

Prior examples would be to look at the contracts of Yuri and Raul Garcia compared to their original deals (Yuri reduced by a year and lower wage, Raul Garcia lower wage - by this time I might even have lowered it twice...). Both won't enter negotiations for a new deal having 'recently signed a new deal'. Yuri has had a substantial wage reduction, and contract reduced from 2024 end date to 2023. Raul Garcia has had multiple wage reductions through signing new deals during the season without extending the contract length - I think he starts on 140k and he's now on 68k.

I can only assume it's due to the board favoured policy as Inigo Martinez who is just under the age limit for that policy at 31 only requests multi year extensions, whereas the guys over 32 are limited to end of season deals. Dani Garcia is also over 32, but being slightly younger on a much lower wage, he asks for a slight wage increase whereas Raul Garcia and Yuri were content to take salary reductions - both Yuri and Raul Garcia have high salaries given their age, ability etc at the start of the save.
