So I'm into Dec' 2023 of my save: Matt Turner for Arsenal keeps being unhappy that he's not getting enough playing time to improve chances of playing at the World Cup. In my interaction, I say ok fine i'll sell you then. And Matt Turner backtracks and says he's happy. Then a month later he's up to the same tricks. Bare in mind, that this is when the next World Cup is 2.5 yrs away (summer 2026)!!!

Just got to 31 2022 December on my first save. The only significant players to run their contracts down to 6 months were Messi, Ronaldo and Gaya. For all other players, clubs managed to negotiate an extended contract in advance, and not even on crazy wages. I know Villa just did this with Douglas Luiz, but one would expect a decent number to hold out to put pressure on the negotiations. Reiss Nelson for example, was easy to come to terms with before he reached 6 months (although I have integrated him into my squad). Tielemans is a bit of a shocker - no way he's going to resign before January. If the response is, well you should declare an interest/scout/unsettle them - well no, because another club should be doing that too. But yes, the keenest club that's pulled out all the stops should get a bit of good will in player negotiations.
